Labour's Cllr Keith Martin has welcomed the refusal by Mayo County Council for permission to erect a 15 metre tall mast in Killadoon, Louisburgh. Eircom had sought to erect a mast and three aerials in the village, in February, on the site of an existing telephone exchange but in July the planning application was refused by Mayo County Council.
Cllr Martin was one of 7 objectors to the 15m mast and in his objection Cllr Martin pointed out that the Killadoon area was environmentally sensitive and of great historical and heritage value.
Cllr Martin also stated that the application by the phone company for a 15m pole carrying three radio aerials should be refused as it would impinge on the integrity of the nearby ring fort and standing stones of Killadoon.
"I am delighted that Mayo County Council has turned this application down. The site was completely unsuitable and the mast would have been intrusive and unsightly. I hope that Eircom will now locate a more suitable location" concluded Cllr Martin.
