Signal Mast vs Historic Station | Limerick News

Irish Rail is locked in a high-stakes legal battle with Tipperary County Council over a signal mast near a historic 1850s Gothic train station — claiming it’s 130 meters away and part of a nationwide rollout of 700+ similar masts with no prior issues. The council argues the mast disrupts the station’s character, issuing an enforcement notice demanding its removal by September — with penalties up to €12 million and two years in jail. Irish Rail counters that the mast doesn’t impact the protected station and that the council misapplied planning rules, especially since only the station remains protected — not the other listed structures. The case returns to the High Court on July 20th, with both sides fiercely defending their positions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
