Senator Micheál Carrigy has expressed his support for changes to be made to the planning licencing laws.
Using planning licencing laws to erect telecommunications masts without warning is 'underhanded', according to a midlands Senator.
Fine Gael's Micheál Carrigy says companies are currently able to apply for a licence to put up such a structure on public property, without going through a public consultation process.
He wants the Planning and Development Bill, currently working its way through the Oireachtas, to change that.
The Longford Senator says while much of the infrastructure is needed, communities must be considered:
