Five Lamps design proves inspiring
A new mobile phone mast design, inspired by a famous Dublin landmark, is proving popular in mainland Europe, but not so popular at home.
The “Five Lamps” mast was created to resemble the famous lamp-post structure in Dublin’s north inner city and has already been adopted in parts of Spain and France.
However, planning authorities in Dublin have not been overly impressed by the design. Permission to erect such masts in Templeogue and Dundrum has been refused.

I saw that in the paper. Would such a design work for the mast on O’Connell Bridge house? It would be brilliant and ironic if it did – get rid of that awful skeletal structure – considering there are five-lamp sets on the bridge.
Theres a reason why the Five Lamps is so notorious, yet I’ve never been able to extract any information from anyone about it.
Is it because of what I think it is…?
