roy - passing along a press release from a group in Northern Ireland that
Roger Cogshill assisted by giving expert testimony.  The BBC is
interviewing - perhaps some good coverage will come out of this, at the
very least.

ASSEMBLY MEMBERS PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR NIFATT CAMPAIGN
Following NIFATT’s delegation to Assembly Members at Stormont Thursday 
3/12/98, Mr Jim Shannon, Ards Borough Council DUP Member and Member of the
Assembly, pledged his full support for NIFATT’s campaign. Mr Shannon’s 
comments were echoed by the large number of Members and local Councillors
from across the Province who attended the meeting. These included, Mr
Oliver Gibson, the DUP Councillor from Omagh, who thanked all the
representatives of NIFATT who made presentations for the information which
had been provided, much of which Members had been hearing for the first
time. Councillor Gibson requested NIFATT to issue information to all
Assembly Members and local Councillors throughout the Province,
particularly the scientific evidence which had been presented by Dr Roger
Coghill.
Mr Phil Willis, Liberal Democrat, MP for Harrogate and the Liberal Democrat
spokesperson for Northern Ireland also addressed the Assembly Members on
behalf of NIFATT and informed them that he had put forward a motion the
previous day to the House of Commons which sought changes to existing
Planning legislation.
Mr Alan Meyer, the senior partner of Halsey Meyer Higgins of Westminster 
addressed the Assembly Members on the European Treaty article 130r adopted
by the British government and the precautionary approach contained therein
with regard to the environment and the population residing within that
environment.
A spokesperson for NIFATT stated after the meeting that they were delighted
with the response they had received from the Assembly Members and
Councillors and was confident that their campaign, which has now the
support of a number of groups, including MPs, Lawyers and eminent
Scientists throughout the UK and Ireland, will succeed. The spokesperson
went on to state that the forthcoming Judicial Review, which is being
spearheaded by the Ballymacashen Road group from Killinchy and is scheduled
to be held in the High Court in January 1999, will add weight to the
campaign and, hopefully, put more pressure on the Government to take action
in relation to the Planning regulations governing the erection of
telecommunications masts.
