Surely you mean pole?

But yes, it is a weird place for a pole. Or a poll for that matter.

I would hazard a guess that like the school in the above linked story, the road has recently been built but the ESB have not gotten around to moving the pole yet.:rolleyes:.....rather than a pole beiong planted in the middle of a road!!

Precisely, the pole was there first and they built the road around the pole.

Guy rang in to Ray D'Arcy just there.. they're taking it down as he was ringing in.

He shouted to the lads taking it down "good job lads. It's only been there for 3 years" to which they replied "well, it'll take 3 minutes to take down"

Ah sure, it's only money Must admit I found that a bit mad too, especially seeing as there's only a handful of kids there at the moment.

Electromagnetic Radiation!!!

The reason they try to stop the Mobile operators from building towers anywhere near school's, and yet the Electromagnetic radiation from those power lines going through that school would be hundreds of times greater than that from a Telecom's tower. The mind boggles !!!
