Setanta threatens to leave Ireland over planning row

Setanta Transmissions, which provides transmission services for several sports channels including Eir Sport (formerly Setanta Sports) claims it will be put out of business as a result of a recent decision to grant planning permission for a high-rise building adjacent to its Dublin headquarters which it claims will block its satellite signals.

The firm believes allowing the development to go ahead would force it to cease operating its business from where it has been located for the past 17 years with the loss of 40 jobs.
