Community near Kilkenny borde welcomes removal of comms mast

A community near Kilkenny's border with Laois is celebrating after a communications mast deemed 'an eyesore' was removed.

Durrow Development Forum have confirmed that Cignal (Cellnex) have delivered on their commitment to remove the mast installed in March 2019.

The group says this was the result of several constructive meetings between DDF and Cignal regarding the visual impact at the Barnhill/Kilkenny Road location.

"Structurally it was an eyesore on a gateway into our village which has been working over the past number of years to preserve and enhance Durrow as a heritage and tourism destination," the says.

"DDF are delighted that Cignal (Cellnex) have taken the feedback of the community and the mast has now been removed."
