Church tower is wrong place to site a mast

SIR, — Your report in the Down Recorder issue of July 5, “Dundrum mast plan criticised” must, of necessity, be made front page news and the headline should read “Dundrum village to become cancer cluster?”

A resident stated that the radio waves from this mast could be potentially harmful when the fact is that they are lethal. Such a mast within the confines of a village the size of Dundrum is a recipe for disaster when, some years ago, even the French government did not allow the erection of such a mast within two kilometres of a single dwelling in France.

To place a microwave device in such a site in Dundrum is abuse beyond deion.

Yours etc,
