The Government recently decided to establish an interdepartmental committee to look at the health effects of electromagnetic fields. The committee will provide advice to Government on the appropriate action to be taken on foot of the recommendations contained in the report, Non-ionising Radiation from Mobile Phone Handsets and Masts, published in June 2005 by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications Marine and Natural Resources. An expert group on the health effects of electromagnetic fields will also report in to the committee.
