The Commissioners of Public Works are not aware of major local objections to the erection of a radio mast at Clonakilty Garda station, County Cork.
The erection of such radio masts is the responsibility of the Department of Justice.
The Commissioners of Public Works provided the base for the mast on a site selected in consultation with an authorised officer of the Department of Justice and, having regard to all the factors involved, the site chosen was regarded as the only one suitable.
The commissioners have no plans to relocate the radio mast.
