Telecommunications Mast at Shankill Garda Station

Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for Finance if a decision has been made in regard to reviewing the decision to place a new telecommunications mast in the vicinity of Shankill Garda Station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon):

The Commissioners of Public Works granted licences to mobile phone operators to install telecommunications equipment on the mast at Shankill Garda station. As the terms of the licences have not been breached, there is no basis for a review of the decision to grant the licences.
