QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager to outline this council’s policies and future plans for increasing the use of LED street-lighting, given the significant cost and energy efficiencies available; and noting the growing number of enterprises in our county engaged in the supply and installation of LED lighting?

REPLY:

The Council's Public Lighting Section continues on an ongoing basis to modernise the public lighting network through the use of new technologies and energy effecient components.  The Section is very aware of the potential and energy saving possibilities from the use of LED technology  but also must be satisfied that the technology is sustainable and not subject to hardware failures in the longer term.  The development of this technology along with other technology  has been and will continue to be monitored by the Public Lighting Section
