Brian Stanley: I accept Eir is entitled to make a bid to pick off the most lucrative households and businesses but the State was in a position to say "No" as well. The logic of that would carry over into other infrastructure in the State and that has not happened. There are significant problems with the current system. The town of Stradbally is served by a mast and my information is that the mast is...
