Locals win planning row over telecom mast in Watergrasshill

Local residents in the Cork village of Watergrasshill have emerged victorious in a planning row over a telecommunications mast located within a few metres of their homes.

A ruling by An Bord Pleanála means telecom firm, Three Ireland, could face enforcement proceedings unless it removes the unauthorised 30-metre mast and associated equipment including a security fence from its location at Bishop’s Island in Watergrasshill.
