MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 25

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to advise what delays if any, (including timeline) exist within the ESB carrying out necessary works to switch on street lights / traffic lights in new developments and if the department is resourced to fulfil these necessary works within new developments.

REPLY:

The delays in getting a connection for PL/Traffic lights are outside the control of SDCC. The time it takes from request to connection varies in each of the ESB network areas. Delays can occur due to ESB resources being deployed elsewhere during storms and bad weather events etc.
