MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 09, 2023

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor M. Lynch

To ask the manager has consideration been given to using the "deadsureapp" where the public can report street lighting faults.

REPLY:

The Council has software and staff in place that identify when and where there is a public light outage and repairs are ordered following this.

In addition, members of the public and Cllrs can notify the Council as to public lighting outage via the Council website, direct line and Customer Care. Whilst this is helpful, the vast majority of public lighting outages are already identified through the Council's software and staff.  

The Council does not currently use the deadsureapp. Whilst it may be of benefit to some local authorities it is not an option the Council is proposing to progress at the moment.
