fantastic response to these masts....the more the better...i know many of you like the mobile phone...but the choice is between your mobile phones and the safety a well being of the planet and all who live here....

local politicians (and would be politicians) rying to make capital (literaly) and votes have condemned this....ALL "community leaders" and "peace fanatics" want control and passivity...time for the uncontrollables!

For about five years now the little known Lough-an-Leagh Environmental Group have had a caravan, camp fire and 24 hour, seven days a week presence at the entrance to a Coilte mountain lane leading to the proposed site of a mobile phone mast in east Cavan on the top of one of the most beautiful mountains in the country - Lough An Leagh.

Over the years there have been many confrontations and tense stand offs between locals (who run an excellent rapid-response phone tree) and phone company employees, intimidators and Gardai.

Their website is not really updated but you can be sure they are there on the mountain as you read this.

For those interested in learning more about this successful long-term local grassroots NVDA/Campaign group check out their website (below). The mountain provides a quite spectacular breath-taking 360 degree panorama of miles and miles of countryside. If your visiting, get to Baileborough or Kingscourt and ask for Lough-an-Leagh - also know locally as Muff Mountain. Once your up there you will see signs directing you to the protest site.

"One of the cairns upon Lough-an-Leagh mountain that we are trying to preserve."

"Splendid panoramic view to the west from the Lough-an-Leagh mountain in County Cavan."

If the objectors had any principles they would gave gathered up all the mobile phones in the area to leave at the base of the demolished mast.
