MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

QUESTION NO. 25

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Manger to explain how the policy of having all services underground applies to TV/Phone utility companies who “string” wires from one semi-detached house to another and over greater spans in the Lucan and Palmerstown residential areas?

REPLY:

Policy EC1 of the County Development Plan does seek to promote the undergrounding of overhead cabling. However, this policy refers to new development, in particular new development areas and areas of visual sensitivity.
