Protest over Eir mast in Co Kerry enters 38th day

16 comments
  1. It’s a bit obnoxious, but it did replace an existing smaller mast, if I’m reading the article correctly, so the current homeowners evidently knowingly purchased a house right next to a communications mast in the first place. It’s not like Eir just randomly came along last year and went “OK, let’s throw up a mast in these fine folks’ back garden for the hell of it!”

  2. These nimbys drive me mad. A group came around my house once with a petition against a mobile phone mast. I asked them if they had mobile phones. Of course they had. Told them to cop themselves on.

  3. You’d know half of them in Inch don’t need to work anyway to “block” the mast. Money central. Leave them without connectivity so and take it down.. Simple. Inch had an horrific Internet connection previously, try connect to mobile data near the beach.

    A lot of people from there are “mé féiners” and if this was a few minutes over the road near where some of my family live, they wouldn’t care less. There are masts placed in the middle of many cities all over the world.. If you have an Internet router in your house, it’s the same thing in regards to radiation. A microwave in your house is more cancerous.

  4. Drove passed Inch over Christmas and saw the infamous tower. It’s no more out of place than a regular street lamp. I got 5G on my phone as I went through the area too

  5. I mean, I understand where they’re coming from, that 5G tower is ruining the natural beauty of the family’s beige box.

  6. Same gang will be whingeing about a lack of rural broadband and phone coverage. ‘We want 1980s views with 21st century tech please’

  7. I am firmly of the belief if you protest against infrastructure any complaints about lack of services that would be provided by said infrastructure should be a fine or something, like idk 1% more tax per complaint.

    Jesus Christ does my bollox in
