Thumbs down for councillor’s call to delay 5G roll-out

From this week’s Galway City Tribune – A motion at this week’s Galway City Council meeting calling on the Government to delay the roll-out of the 5G communications network was heavily defeated.

Cllr Colette Connolly (Independent), who proposed the motion at Monday’s meeting in Leisureland, said that public health concerns should be the guiding influence in terms of 5G – she called on ComReg to delay its roll-out.

Her motion referred to a recent appeal to the EU ‘by 180 scientists and doctors from 36 countries warning about the dangers of 5G’ which would lead to a ‘massive increase in involuntary exposure to electromagnetic radiation’.

Cllr Connolly’s motion also added that Galway City Council ‘in exercising its responsibility to protect the environment and the public from harm’ should oppose the roll-out of 5G and it called on ComReg to ‘deny licensing’ for its roll-out.
