Hartstown residents block erection of 'flagpole' on petrol station

The truck bearing the flagpole/ mast is prepared to leave the Hartstown petrol station.

Residents of Hartstown poured out of the local pub and from their homes facing a petrol station in Hartstown to block erection of what they were told was a flagpole atop a petrol station.

Residents suspect it was a communications mast.

Children absord of to 75 percent of the radiation from these masts into their brains and the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland (RCPI) predict that one in two (50 percent) Irish people will suffer "some form of cancer" by the year 2025.

Following a standoff with construction workers, the mast was driven off on the back of the truck as a securityman watch and Gardai and Dublin Fire Brigade circled.

After an afternoon stand-off, residents are jubliant at the outcome. Ruth Copping of Fingal Co. Council (second from right) interruped an afternoon at the seaside with her daughter to support residents.

Sacks of flags? Additional equipment for the installation remained on the truck bed as it drove off.

You're right, Frytex, it was sneaky. But nobody's questioning the erection of masts and antennae. It happening across the country and the media is not covering it because there's so much money involved. At the moment there are fights in Castelreagh and Dunamon in Roscommon, Clondalkin and Castleknowk and Dalkey in Dublin, Leixlip and Brownstown in Kildare. People are awakening to the dangers which is why companies are getting more and more devious. Protect yourself because the government is avoiding the issue and won't protect you. Mary Harney won't even do baseline studies on the matter. Educate yourself and don't try to get even. Get organized. They wither under the glare of public scrutiny and the scientific evidence.

well done!

Glad to see people taking such action against threats to their health.

It's still poorly understood what effects this non ionising radiation will have, since it is so new to the world.
Also it's a bit sneaky...have the company not got to get permission and advertise their planning application?
