Mobile Phone Transmission Mast Map

For those who like maps and nerdy stuff, this is ComReg's interactive map, showing the locations of mobile phone masts/antennae and details about the services provided from them by various SPs. In Kilcullen, the main sites are at Old Kilcullen, Leinster Marts, Kilcullen 38 kV substation and one at Logstown for which a non-ionising electromagnetic radiation compliance report was produced in 2011 (not sure where the microwave antennae are placed, maybe on the sides of the exchange building. There isn't a lattice mast at the site, although I seem to remember something about planning permission being requested for one?).
Edit: Here's the details on the Kilcullen Diary of the planning application request in 2021. Also three microwave antennae are mounted on a timber pole beside the telephone exchange at Logstown, obscured by trees. This provides GSM (the standard for 2G), 3G and 4G services for Vodafone, although 3G has now been phased out.
