PUBLIC MEETING AGAINST CLAREGALWAY ESB EQUIPMENT

Date Published: 14-Jul-2011

A public meeting will take place tonight [14/7] to discuss a proposal by the ESB for additional communications equipment in Claregalway.

A deputation from Rooaunmore, Loughgeorge and surrounding areas met with senior officials of the ESB in Dublin.

The ESB is looking for planning permission to retain its mast and dishes at Rooaunmore and also to add 9 more antennae and 6 dishes to the structure.

However local residents are concerned about health implications and are holding a public meeting at 8 o’ clock tonight in the Claregalway Hotel.

Councillor Jim Cuddy says it’s important that anyone who has concerns about the mast attend tonight’s meeting.
