Tuesday, May 11, 2010

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"To ask the Manager to write to the ESB to request that a street light be attached to the green ESB pole at the Rathfarnham Texaco garage to improve lighting in the area?"

REPLY:

The Council's Electrical Contractor has been requested to upgrade the lantern on Pole 27 which is opposite the Texaco garage from a 135W SOX to a 250W SON.  This will improve the lighting levels at the garage.  The public lighting network at this location is fully maintained by SDCC and it is not advisable to mix the maintainanace agents i.e. have ESB and SDCC's Electrical Contractor  maintaining lighting within the same locus.
