QUICK ACTION by residents in Bayside Square resulted in Fingal County Council being forced to move to prevent an application for a mobile phone mast by Threefold on the roof of the Squash & Leisure Building as exempted development, as the building contains a creche.

Following information leaflets and a meeting organised by local Socialist Party rep Brian Greene the owner of the premises was eager to confirm that the mobile phone company would NOT be proceeding with the application through the normal planning route.

This is a magnificent victory for the local community and is a direct result of the vigilance of residents on this issue. 

Not only that but research by Brian Greene has resulted in Fingal County Council investigating an existing mast on the site which was illegally erected.

[update 28/04] 8 weeks later the council are still investigating what Vodafone have installed at the premises and when they may have installed it.

Bradley Manning should be a hero, not a prisoner

In 2005 US Marines murdered 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq. Over the last eight years, what punishments have been imposed by the US military on the perpetrators? Well, one soldier got a rank reduction and a pay cut. That’s it. Compare this to the fate that awaits Bradley Manning: up to 136-years in prison for exposing a host of similar atrocities and crimes.

 

This article was initially published after Manning was found guilt but before he received his final sentencing. He as since been sentanced to 35 years in prison.
