A decision is expected this week on an application by H3G to replace an existing mast at the Garda station in Kildysart, Co. Clare, with a new 30 metre high mast which is facing opposition from local residents who defeated a similar proposal some 10 years ago. (Clare People 19/1/10, p. 17).
Mayo County Council has requested more information from P&D Lydon Plant Hire in support of its application to continue rock extraction and processing at Carrowoughteragh, Shrule, which has faced some local opposition. (Western People 19/1/10, p. 6).
Mayo County Council was condemned at a recent County Council meeting for doing business with three companies who are operating quarries without a licence. (Mayo News 19/1/10, p. 21)

Clare, has reacted angrily to an instruction from the Department of the Environment to Clare County Council that an environmental impact study for the project, which has been objected to by Mountshannon Community Council, among other groups, is necessary. (Clare People 19/1/10, p. 9).

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Cant get a broadband signal "down the country" what with the lack of "telemasts" ?
No -the problem relates to distribution of an older technology -newspapers- as Dublin is the only place the Crow is able to light on a national selection, as you'd have seen if you'd checked my previous comments on stopping these weekly reports. Still, why bother with that when you're just interested in being clever?
