MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 27, 2023

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

"Within Tallaght there are various area where public lighting has not been working the response received for delay in repairs is difficulty getting parts, can I ask how many lights are facing delays to repairs due to this issue and when will it be resolved?"

REPLY:

 There are currently in excess of 500 lights facing repairs. The replacement lamps for these types of fitting are obsolete. We are relying on the harvesting of old/used lamps from our LED Upgrade Programme. However, progress on this rollout has been delayed by ESBN, who are citing a lack of resources to make the required attendance on site for this work. 

We are currently in discussion with ESBN to try and resolve this issue.
