When I contacted Eircom and asked them to move their telephone pole from my back garden I was told to send them € 250 so that they could do a survey after which they would cost the job of moving the pole which I would have to pay. I asked why I had to pay them for moving their property from my garden and I was simply told that they had a legal right to charge me under the 1863 Telegraphy Act which was subsumed, partially at least, into Irish law. I must say I think this is a very unfair burden on the ordinary citizen since I have no contract or agreement with Eircom and their use of my garden. I think they should pay me for the inconvenience of accommodating their equipment.
I could not source the 1863 Telegraphy Act on the internet. Any opinions anyone.
