    No more of an eyesore than the windmills that are popping up around the dunhill area!
    The last time I visited Dunhill and Annestown, every windmill that I saw seemed to be broken. Ghastly, unsightly things. Has there been a recent storm out there?

    Fair enough then, lets allow the phone masts and the windmills. I won't complain about one if you don't complain about the other.

    Permission was refused on 26th October, 2011, for the following reason:
    The site is designated as Visually Sensitive in the Scenic Landscape Evaluation Map as set out in the Waterford County Development Plan 2011-2017. Due to the scale and massing of the proposed development and the elevated and exposed nature of this designated Visually Sensitive hill top site it is considered that the proposed development would seriously detract from the visual amenity of the area, and would be injurious to both the rural and archaeological character of the area.
    Vodafone (Irl) Ltd could still appeal this decision to An Bórd Pleanala.

    My heart just goes out to the people of Dunhill after that, I was down there today in the Enterprise Park and I was nothing short of "Cut off from society" for the five hours I was below there, the mobile phone coverage there is nothing short of a disgrace in this day and age.

    Once again the voice of the minority(tree huggers) have succeeded to rob honest to god, hard working people of advancement.

    Too all the people who complained about this mast when planning permission was being sought back over 10 years ago lol , How many of ye are actually now benefiting from this mast to make your phone calls and use the internet, 2 faced the lot , everyone owns a phone in the area so ye are definitely using the network!
