Was this recent, or have you been looking at the pole for the last 20 years or so?The pole was already in the garden since we purchased the house.
A way bigger job and unlikely Eir would go for this. Let's say there are 10 dropwires (customers) coming from the pole, I don't see Eir paying for 10 "DUG's" and their associated local authority permissions. Never mind the labour costs.Ask them to put the cables underground.
Let them prove that. OP, if there is no way of getting eir to pay for moving the pole and they can prove a way-leave exists, hand the bill to the solicitor who handled the conveyancing for you.I suspect they will have some legal right to keep the pole in situ and upgrade it if deemed necessary.
I haven't read the act but I'd be very surprised if their right to access pre-existing equipment on private land was not continued.No mention of replacing existing poles.
Eircom is one of those companies that will deal with you on the matter if you approach them. The ifs and buts can be ironed out and usually there is a successful end to the situation. So contact your nearest Eircom Depot and speak to the people involved. I bet you'll have a successful outcome. Incidentally, no point in contacting the Eircom Call Centre people; deal only with the decision makers.
