Talks to resolve mast row ‘constructive’

EFFORTS are continuing to resolve a stand-off between a community in Kerry and providers of a controversial telecommunications mast which has been given planning permission by An Bord Pleanála.

Objectors to a 15m-high mast in Annascaul have met with contractors acting for Eircom in the hope of finding a solution.

Residents who have been urging the Threefold company, agents of Eircom, to erect the mast on a site away from the village, described the meeting as constructive.
