news report
Wednesday July 18, 2007 00:14 by Paula Geraghty mspgeraghty at yahoo dot ie 0876101340
This evening, residents of North Clondalkin took to the streets of their community to express their concerns and calling for an immediate health survey to be carried out in view of the number of people suffering from tumours and cancer and those who are no longer with the community. Hundreds met at the Neilstown shopping centre to take part, with support all the way from Cork and Kenmare.
by Informer Thu Jul 19, 2007 13:15
Just in case people in Neilstown don't know: Gino Kenny is a member of the Socialist Workers' Party but he ran as a Non-Party candidate in the last General Election.

Is'nt it wonderfull to be a member of a political party and isn't it wonderfull to see people from different political backgrounds with a common purpose.... The protection of their children!

by Michael Martin Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:18
Some years ago I attended one of those anti-mobile phone mast meetings in Co. Wicklow. I asked the attending people one simple question, "How many of you own a cell phone?" Every single person present, apart from myself, raised his/her hand. And here you have the root of the problem. Get rid of your cell phone and the masts will then vanish as well. YOU are creating those problems yourself by buying these phones. I never bought a cell phone in my life, and will never get one.
by Informer Fri Jul 20, 2007 13:20
I was just giving information. I never said a positive or negative word about Mr. Kenny. He is a member of the Socialist Workers' Party and he ran in the Dáil General Election of last May as a "Non Party" candidate. Mr. Kenny's posters did not refer to his party membership. These are all facts and you can make your own minds up about it. I'm not giving my personal opinion.
by Chekov Fri Jul 20, 2007 15:12
While I sympathise and understand the concerns of communities when electronic communications equipment is located in their communities without consultation or consent, I'd be fairly concerned by the fact that the protest seems to be based on bad science and acceptance of the various bits of media scaremongering about electromagnetic radiation. A few facts, as I understand them:
by Joe (Mayfield) Fri Jul 20, 2007 16:16
"There are citizens who suffer ill health from the use of mobile phone handsets or because they reside near a mast" - Chairman's preface to official Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (June 2005).
by Chekov Fri Jul 20, 2007 17:09
It's a terrible idea to depend on politicians for scientific evidence. There are a whole load of published, peer-reviewed studies which show virtually no evidence of any danger to humans from exposure to the sorts of radiation that is emitted by mobile phone masts or handsets - and there's just no way that masts could possibly cause health problems if handsets don't - the radiated power drops off with the square of the distance - only telecoms workers ever get close enough to get a dose that's bigger than that of a handset.
by Mike - Judean Popular People's Front Fri Jul 20, 2007 18:40
Forget about the masts. The real danger (assuming there is any) from non ionising radiation comes not from the big bad scary mast hundreds of metres away put from the little phone three centimetres from your skull. its a damming indictment of the Irish education "system" that the general public are completly ignorant of concepts such as "inverse square law" (google it) or the distinction between ionising (Chernobyl, Hiroshima etc) radiation and non-ionising radiation (light, heat, mobile phone and TV signals).

Should one ever require the services of the fire brigade, an ambulance crew or even the police in an emergency it can be quite handy to have a phone mast nearby so that they can be sure of a reliable signal on their mobile !

Antennae are just bits of metal encased in plastic or fibreglass they are no more capable of "giving" cancer than the structures ("masts") which support them. They dont even radiate until a signal of sufficient voltage in the design frequency range is applied to them so it’s no good blaming the antennae. In any case you still haven’t explained why antennae hundreds of metres away atop are somehow worse than antennae (or computer monitors) a few centimetres from ones brain

Thanks To political polly,Noreen and everyone else who came to support us with our campaign here in clondalkin,can i just say something our campaign is to have our mobile phone mast moved away from our homes & Schools here in clondalkin and to be put in a field which is not in use,there is alot of them close by so why no use them?? Also to anybody that does not support us and who has left a not so nice comment,if you are certain that there is no danger from the mast.I would like to see what affects you would have living in our home forthy feet from the mast.Believe me you would leave quicker than you came in with Headaches/Migraines and lack of sleep with numbness in the limbs.And how about the Tin-foil on our windows see how weird and afraid you would feel when you see holes burning through getting bigger day by day.......And see can you answer this question why the holes in the tinfoil in the back windows and not in the front?? ill answer that one for you...because theres no phone mast at the front of our home its to the rear of the house.
by Supporter of Phone mast removal Sun Jul 22, 2007 21:06
Hi all i am a supporter of the Clondalkin group which is fighting to have a Health survey done on our area. Ive read all comments here on the site and i was wondering the people who dont believe there is harm from these ugly things that are not seen in upper class areas, have they to live close to phone masts? have there children to attend school near a phone mast?? Also i read that it has never been scientifically proven that phone masts are harmful, but also it has never been scientifically proven that phone masts are NOT HARMFUL. So for now dont you think until it is proven one way or the other they should remove them until we are 100 percent certain that they are safe? SO IF IN DOUBT TAKE IT OUT....

Hi All,
by Bryan - Tumour Victim Mon Jul 23, 2007 19:27 bryanrussellwwe9 at hotmail dot com
I have recently being diagnosed with a brain tumour,my home is attached to the Gardai station in Ronanstown.I would never have taught that my illness was down to a phone mast,until i read a press release from a Gardai who had suspicions due to three gardai in Ronanstown suffering with brain tumours too.For anybody that doesnt believe that a phone mast can cause such thing,just to let you know i probably felt the same before i got my tumour.If it has never been proven that it is and isnt HARMFUL,then why take the chance and leave it were it is,i once read that masts are ok to have for short term,but this mast is here since 1997(isnt that long term??) and i wake up to it every morning,and i wake to tinfoil on my window,watching holes appear bigger daily.The holes couldnt be from the heat cause the weather isnt great,and even if it was from the weather why would the tinfoil in the front windows remain the same.I would challenge anybody who believes that this cannot be related to come to my home and investigate,and for anybody who thinks that we havent had anybody to our home to investigate already,well we have and were told its a complete HOTSPOT.

First, and above all, well done to Gino and his comrades for organising the demo, for Paula and the other friends who took the pictures, and to all the participants. Clondalkin and particularly Neilstown are very close to my heart - having worked there with the local people for over 4 years.

In April of 2006, local resident Brian Russell, who was 20 years of age at the time, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour of the brain. The Russell family home is located within 30 metres of the mobile phone mast and there are also high voltage electricity cables passing over the house.Speaking to Southside People, Brian’s sister Imelda said that as well as her brother’s illness there have been unusually high incidences of cancer among both their neighbours and within the Garda station itself. “There are five neighbours living next door to each other that live around the other side of the Garda station and out of those five houses there are nearly two people in each that have either died of cancer or have cancer.

I have followed the research into EMF health effects for about the last 10 years. Based on this, I accept the current scientific consensus that there is zero risk from mobile phone masts given their field strengths. If more evidence emerges to the contrary, I'll change my mind, but the current state of research is pretty conclusive about this. In attempting to understand anything, you can't just cherry-pick results that you agree with, you have to look at the whole body or research, assess the quality, sample sizes and methodology of the various studies. For example, you can have a million studies based upon surrogate measures, which suggest that there might be a danger, but as soon as you have a case-control, cohort, randomised control trial or other study from further up the evidence hierarchy which suggests that there is no danger, you do not conclude that the evidence is mixed, you conclude that there is no danger (until further evidence emerges at least).

HI michael,

You're cut and pasting emails which is why the little triangles appear. The Essex report has been in the pipeline for a while now (2004) and has not yet concluded. It is part funded by the British state and Telecommunication industry and was first alluded to on this website during attempts to link up campaign knowledge and groups in Europe - at that point people were tackling overhead high tension electricity in Cork. WE know Electrosensitivity is an issue & it varies from state to state. We also know as Chekov said it's blamed on pylons not masts. "most of the time".

by Histrorian Wed Jul 25, 2007 09:52
But polly it's only about 10-15 years ago since the rise in cancer rates in these areas were blamed on the electric pylons that went through both these areas. And there were campaigns by public reps in both areas well before phone masts.

Essex report returns a total negative!
by Chekov Wed Jul 25, 2007 12:16
From the conclusion:
by Chekov Wed Jul 25, 2007 20:24
The reasons for ill-health in relatively poor communities, including elevated incidences of cancers, and so on are well known and backed up by enormous volumes of uncontested evidence. They are the stress, diet, lifestyle and lack of accessible medical facilities that go along with living in poverty. Socio-economic inequality is the major cause of health inequality.
by wageslave Wed Jul 25, 2007 21:45
while general information on electromagnetism is freely available, specific information on specific models of masts and their exact behaviour / output are subject to secrecy for business reasons. For this reason it is impossible for joe bloggs to fully evaluate a particular installation, no matter how smart he is and it is unreasonable to expect him to. Even if he works for the companies in question, there are still scientific and environmental factors that are unpredictable and difficult to properly assess.

As an example of this unpredictability I refer to, there is some scientific evidence to support the theory that the recent spate of hive deaths in the bee population could be attributable in part to the proliferation of mobile phone technology. It turns out bees are sensitive to this. Nobody predicted this.

by R. Isible Thu Jul 26, 2007 03:26
The bee example was just there as an example of how unanticipated effects can sometimes come from leftfield where complex technology is concerned. I merely stated that there was "some scientific evidence" to support that claim. This is true. How much agreement there is in the scientific community as to the validity of this evidence, well thats another story.

Probably because richer people are better at lobbying against unsightly constructions. It didnt stop a mobile mast from being put on top of the National Archives in Bishop Street though.

I totally agree with Gino..Can i just say,how is it that people all over the world are fighting the same fight we are,that is to HAVE MOBILE PHONE MASTS MOVED FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND SCHOOLS?? There is too many illnesses and deaths by cancer,and why is it that the rating is much higher in areas that are living close to mobile phone masts?? There is to many people all over the world concerned about this same issue.THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THERE,IT HAS TO BE THE PHONE MASTS..I have done a bit of research and have found many stories,very sad stories,and one in paticular were there was a phone mast located in a primary school,there was kids sick,the headmaster,some of the teachers and even the lolly pop lady for the school,there is no way that could be a coincidence !! just incase any of you work for the company that i met with with a couple of weeks back to discuss this same problem,(You know who you are) just for your peace of mind,since our meeting,the tinfoil has stopped burning on the windows!!! Lower the mast down did you?? Well your going to have to hire it back up sometime soon,and the tinfoil will remain were it is,until this is dealt with fully.

Why dont you come and stay in my house for a week or so? See for yourself how it feels to get dressed in the back room facing out to the phone mast.See if you have the same symptoms as myself and my family? Then have a sleep in the front room of our house and compare the difference.Behind my mothers home there is a mobile phone mast no more than 40 feet away.There is nothing else round other than the Gardai compound which stands the mast and a few off the road cars and some trees.There is tinfoil burning in our windows! So what should we put this down to then?? My young brother slept in the back room for years right up until he was diagnosed with cancer.So ill say it again why is it that so many people all over the world are fighting the same fight we are?? And why is it that there is always a phone mast / pylon present ? Why is it that before 1997 the cancer rating in Ronanstown was alot lower than it is now?? So what else can you put it down too? Why is it that so many people with cancer illnesses or who have died from cancer in Ronanstown have all suffered from three types of cancer.Why is there so many miscarriages ?

LISTEN just for your information my brother lived a very healthy life style didnt smoke barely drank only on occasions,and the doctors are puzzled because they havent a clue as to what to put this down too.So unless you have proof on paper to say that these ugly phone masts standing behind my house are not dangerous and dont cause cancer....then i dont want to hear no more from you....We have been to see many doctors and we have told them about the mobile phone mast and how each and every one of us in the house wake up with dead limbs and headaches.Why would so many doctors have concerns and write to the HSE ???? Gardai made many complaints about this in Ronanstown gardai station.DO YOU REALLY NOT THINK ITS A BIT STRANGE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE STATION (9) IN TOTAL....Have similar illnesses.....I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING YOU ARE ONE HARD PERSON TO CONVINCE,ACTUALLY FOGET TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU.....I NO LONGER WANT TOO....WHY WOULD WE WANT SOMEONE WHO PROBABLY WORKS FOR A PHONE COMPANY,GOVERNMENT OR PROBABLY GETS PAID FOR HAVING A MAST ON HIS HOUSE (GOD ONLY KNOWS) ON OUR SIDE ANYWAY......

I live fairly close to a mobile phone mast that has houses almost bang up against it. However, there is no cancer cluster around here. Likewise, there are mobile phone masts the length of this country that are not associated with cancer clusters. Only in a few areas has such a link been claimed. How is this possible? If what is being said here is true, every locality with a mast should have a cancer cluster. They don't. Explain that.

Approaching the mast over the Garda Station
Dismantling the mock Mast
I came, I marched and got a piece of the mast!
Great pictures Paula. It was a fantastic demonstration of people power, IN ACTION. We are all very proud of our achievements in the 5 weeks. But this is only the start, we have woken a sleeping giant on this issue. Next Harney's office, Saturday at 1pm, more of the same. United IN SOLIDARITY!!
Hi Paula
Excellent Pictures,Really shows how deteremined people were on the day.
Hopefully we will have more on your site in the near future,or maybe not hopefully we get the results we are looking for.
Well done to all who contributed to the success of the Clondalkin protest. Communities from Donegal to Kerry and Dublin to Galway are suffering the effects of microwave radiation from phone masts. The government con the people with their so called ICNIRP permitted levels of emissions. The ICNIRP certificate states that these levels are only for short term exposure, yet no matter what level of radiation the antennae emit , they say it is within the guidelines permitted.
We have asked time and time again what are the
cumulative levels from a mast with 12 antennae operating on it and we have yet to get an answer.
Cancer clusters are all over Ireland and it is no coincidence that they are located wherever mast are placed. Denial by government and the circumventing of the democratic planning process by the mobile operators are the order of the day.
Profit is the motive. Minister Conor Lenihan had a mast removed from the school his children attend.
If ministers are afraid of the health effects of these
masts then why do they expect the general public to accept them in their community.
We need more people protesting and marching.

Well done.wonderful to see so many people,especially the children not owning or using mobile phones with their toxic effects.Its a pity more people wouldn't follow your example and dump all mobile phones,and make us all safer.
Well done to Imelda and Gino and the amazing people of Clondalkin.
It was an absolute honor to be there on Tuesday evening. I'd (nearly) be tempted to become a Dub.
All over the country, and the world, ordinary people are suffering the effects of RF/EMF radiation and their cries for help are being ignored by the autorities. This technology is not safe and the sooner the emmission levels are brought down, the better for all of us.
If we stick together and support each other we can achieve anything.
Be well
