Phone masts granted permission despite protests
04/02/2006 - 09:26:32
About 32 new mobile phone masts are granted planning permission here every month, despite objections from communities.
The latest controversy centres on an O2 transmitter at Dublin's Connolly station.
An Bórd Pleanala has granted the company permission to retain a 24-metre mast there, despite local residents' protests.
The objections are on the grounds of health and safety concerns, and the residents claim the mast is too close to houses, schools and a playground.
There are 36 such masts in total on our national rail network.
