Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

I do not have the benefit of having the response to that parliamentary question with me. If I recall correctly, Deputy Gregory insinuated that the Stewart report stated that no mast should be put anywhere near a school. My reply would have been based on that. If my recollection is wrong, I will correct the record. The siting of telecommunications masts is a matter for the planning authorities, not for me as Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources.
