Coillte in flagrant abuse of Cork County Council Planning laws

category cork | crime and justice | news report author Friday June 13, 2008 15:03author by Coillte Watch Report this post to the editors

Coillte in breach of Planning laws on Nowen Hill, Dunmanway, Co. Cork

In June 2007, Coillte allowed Vodafone to erect an illegal tellecommunications mast on Nowen Hill, Dunmanway, Co. Cork. Coillte allowed Vodafone to do this with the knowledge that Vodafone had almost finalised plans and had carried out site works, to share a telecoms tower with an adjoining telecoms operator on Nowen Hill.

Why did Coillte allow Vodafone to do this. ?

From our evidence, we believe that Coillte allowed Vodafone to put up their illegal mast on Coillte land because Coillte are involved in a dispute with the adjoining telecoms operator, with whom, Vodafone wished to share with.

From this act, we can deduce that Coillte acted illegally and in the process, and interfered with telecoms operators on Nowen Hill, which is outside their remit.
Coillte obviously wished to keep Vodafone on their land, albeit by an illegal means.
This latest act by Coillte is seen by many as another attempt to further fuel the ongoing dispute between Coillte and others at Nowen Hill.

The Planning laws of the country must be obeyed by all.
Yet, here we have Coillte, a State organisation, clearly flouting such laws for their own financial gain.

Coillte are FSC certified. Therefore, Coillte should follow and obey FSC principles. ( See Related link).
In this case, Coillte have clearly breached FSC principles by flouting Planning laws.

We understand, that this matter, and other Nowen Hill issues, were brought to thre attention of FSCand Accreditation Services International, Germany, who, for whatever reasons, have ignored the illegal conduct of Coillte.
