Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 November 2004
386 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, further to Question No. 235 of 16 November 2004, if such a survey will be carried in view of the fact that it is standard annual practise in many other countries; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30114/04]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that, they do not intend to carry out a survey of the electromagnetic field strength of the mast at the station referred to by the Deputy. In my reply to the Deputy to Parliamentary 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. Comreg, which is the licensing authority, also commissions independent surveys to ensure service providers and the Garda Síochána comply fully with licence conditions which includes emission limits in compliance with the guidelines of the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation.
