SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 26, 2017

MOTION NO. (12)

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to prioritise the introduction of LED lighting in the St Maelruans Estate in Tallaght, one of the oldest Estates in the area. Currently the lighting in Maelruans is of a very poor quality and several residents have complained over the last number of months about this. Can the Chief Executive please provide an indication if works have been scheduled for this estate and when they are likely to commence and also the cost involved in upgrading the lamps in this area."

REPORT:

"Public Lighting Section installed an additional lighting column and fitting recently at St. Maelruans. This estate, due to the layout of the parking bays and wide verges, coupled with the fact that we are relying on the existing ESBN overhead system for location of light fittings, makes it extremely difficult to improve matters. The installation of LEDs could well disimprove the situation, as there is less light spill from these fittings.

However,P.L. will assess the existing ESBN pole locations to try and come up with a proposal that will make an improvement."
