Heritage town loses to money

I am amazed that when it comes down to money, principles and responsibilities are suddenly forgotten.

From the highest levels, decency and common sense give way to greed. This is evident in the matter of Eirgrid’s plan to put 150ft electricity towers through the Heritage Town of Lismore, Co Waterford.

The body formed from the Heritage Act of 1995 to oversee and protect designated heritage areas is the Heritage Council. Why are they allowing the electricity giant, Eirgrid to plan its 150ft pylon route through this beautiful Heritage Town? The answer is money.
