SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 13, 2018

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor P. Donovan

"That the Council carry out/oversee an inspection of current utility poles in the area.  Many metal poles are rusty (not all are public lighting columns) and advise on a program of painting work to make good these poles.  Please note that some of these poles are dated 1912 and many more are more recent but are in need of paintwork."

REPORT:

"The Public Lighting Department is only responsible for its own equipment.  The other utilities, Eir, ESB etc. look after their equipment. The majority of SDCC stock is post 1960's.

The poles are examined by SDCC staff when on callouts. Otherwise they are checked by request. If you have any specific area can you inform the P.L section.

Any heritage poles should be directed to the Heritage Officer."
