Four masts, two quarries, an incinerator, a CCTV system, a gas power plant and an airstrip Local residents are opposed to the erection by H3G of a new 15-metre high mast in Crossreagh, near Mullagh, Co. Cavan which would be within a few hundred yards of the local school, calling for the H3G antennae to be placed on the three or four other masts already erected in the area. (Anglo-Celt 8/10/09, p. 9).

North East Against incineration has taken exception to claims in the EIS for College Proteins’ incinerator that the population of Nobber, Co.

(Meath Chronicle 10/10/09, pp.1,3).
Tetra is to meet with objectors to its proposed mast in Annascaul, Co. Kerry next week in Tralee to review possible alternative sites. Objectors are maintaining their vigil in front of the mast site. (Kerryman (sic) 7/10/09, p. 24).

The local Green Party in Athenry, Co. Galway has joined the protest by hundreds of locals against a proposed gas power plant at Cashla, Athenry. (Connacht Tribune 9/10/09, p. 4).
An Bord Pleanala has rejected an appeal by An Taisce against ancillary developments for an airstrip near Cleggan, Co. Galway. (Connacht Tribune 9/10/09, p. 18).
At an angry public meeting in Leghowney Community Hall last Tuesday, local residents strongly criticised the application by 3 for a mast on Finabane Hill, Leghowney, Co. Donegal and called on the company to withdraw its application. (Donegal Democrat 8/10/09, p. 2a)
