Written answers

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 168 of 4 November 2004 based on the response from the Garda authorities on the matter.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that it remains the case that no request for information has been received from the planning enforcement section of Dublin City Council, notwithstanding that the council report supplied by the Deputy envisaged such a request being made. The Garda authorities will respond to any approach from the planning enforcement section.

Tony Gregory

Question:

235 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a survey has been carried out on the electromagnetic field strength of the mast on a Garda station (details supplied) in Dublin 7; if so, the details of the survey findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28546/04]

View answer

I am advised by the Garda authorities that a survey of the electromagnetic field strength of the mast installation on the Garda station referred to by the Deputy has not been carried out. I am advised, however, that the antennae configuration on the mast concerned is typical of a number of Garda stations both in the Dublin metropolitan region and throughout the country. In my reply to the Deputy in Question No. 168 of 4 November 2004, I outlined the approach being adopted generally by the Garda Síochána to the measurement of the electromagnetic field strengths on masts located at Garda stations.
