National broadcaster RTÉ have been refused permission by Louth County Council to retain a 30m high operational support tower with associated equipment attached at Clermont Carn in Ravensdale.
The council refused RTÉ permission to retain the structure on three counts. They said that it was located on an exposed mountain top site within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which they wanted to preserve and protect.
They also said the structure was “inappropriately designed” with regard to its location’s sensitive landscape. Finally, they said it would interview would the view of the area.
