New appeals against masts flow from An Bord Pleanála report

All three cases were put back until next week pending further instructions being received by the board’s solicitors as to whether it will oppose the actions.

The High Court has heard two new appeals against An Bord Pleanála decisions to approve the construction of telecoms masts, in light of the board’s acknowledgement that such decisions are “irregular”.

Three such mast cases were heard on Monday as part of the court’s strategic infrastructure list before Justice Richard Humphreys.
