To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on any programme of works or future plans to further roll out replacement/transition of public street lighting in Palmerstown to extend to all other areas not completed with the newer energy efficient LED lights.

To date, we have completed 3,075 upgrades in the Lucan/Palmerstown/North Clondalkin area to date as part of our first phase of the LED Upgrade Progrramme of approximately 10,000 upgrades. 

We are currently commencing the second phase and this comprises a further upgrade of 8,500 light fittings in the county over 4 to 5 years. A programme for 2021 of 1500 upgrades is being collated at present and will cover locations in all the electoral areas. We will keep the elected members informed in advance of any proposed upgrades in their respective areas.
