Opposition to plans for "unnecessary" telecommunications mast in Headford

There's opposition to plans for a new and allegedly "unnecessary" telecommunications mast in Headford.

On Tower Ireland Limited is seeking permission for a 24 metre structure at a site on the west side of the town.

But local submissions point out there's another brand new mast less than 1km away - and question why this new structure is needed.

The firm behind that mast, Towercom, also made a submission - confirming it's suitable for site sharing for telecommunications equipment, and available to all interested parties.
