Arson, explosives in feud over mast

A ROW over the site of a telecom mast led to bitter protests, an arson attack, the planting of an explosive device and the arrest of three people, a court has heard.

The Ardara module of the Morris Tribunal centred on the aftermath of the start of work on a cable mast in Donegal village.

Some residents, including the Diver and Shevlin families, who lived adjacent, were opposed to the project and claimed radiation from the mast was a danger to health.
