Not sure if this is in the correct forum but here goes anyway. Eircom have erected and are working on a very large pole outside of my house. I have enquired and found out that it is to be a 0.3m 23GHz dish for a wireless connection to the local exchange (cheaper than wired apparently). The pole is directly across the road from my house. I have asked eircom why we were not informed of this and they told me that they don't need to inform me - they have the right to put the pole up there if they want. Is this true? - Can they just do this without any permission from the locals in the are, why don't they need planning?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
