One is for when I get a call to go home. Proliferation of anything is not good enough. There are five or six masts in my community. Eir is not living up to the planning policy of co-location because each set of antennae it fits to a tower is lucrative.

It is worth €6,000 to €10,000 in a calendar year. Eir is putting up a dozen of these and there are another dozen across the same road junction. There is proliferation and there comes a time when there is full 4G reception and 5G reception. No networks are dropping where I am. Networks are dropping in parts of west Clare where Eir has no masts. Will Ms Lennon comment on co-location? Is she following it? Why is Eir still applying for masts when it is no longer its infrastructure?
