Bord Pleanála rejects RTÉ’s appeal for mast in scenic area

A PLAN by RTÉ to build a 24-metre mast in a scenic part of the Dingle Peninsula has been rejected on the grounds it would interfere with the natural beauty of the area.

An Bord Pleanála has turned down an appeal against a previous decision by Kerry County Council to refuse planning permission for the mast.

The national broadcaster was proposing to erect the mast near Camp on the main N86, the An Daingean/Tralee road.
