Gardaí in Waterford city are investigating a fire at a mobile phone mast at a well-known GAA ground.

The fire, which is being treated as arson, destroyed the Meteor Mast at Ballygunner.

It is the second time in five months that the mast has been destroyed by arsonists.

The siting of the mast at the pitch is currently the subject of an appeal to An Bord Pleanála.

Those campaigning against the mast say they completely disassociate themselves from the fire which is believed to have been started over the weekend.
