QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

"Can the Manager make a report to this Area Committee regarding the upgrade to LED public lighting in the areas of Tallaght Central that are experiencing long delays in maintenance due to the age of the old lights and lack of availability of spare parts. Could the Manager also give details of any discussion with ESB Networks regarding the upgrading of cable works?"

REPLY:

 There are two tables attached. Table 1 shows the remaining upgrades required to be carried out in Phase 1 of our programme. Phase 1 is comprised of what upgrades were committed to the Area Committee in June of 2022, prior to the Supplemental Agreement having been signed with ESBN in January 2023. This Agreement was necessary for us to carry out these upgrades for regulatory reasons. There are 220 upgrades left to be carried out in this programme. 

Table 2 shows our proposed Phase 2. This will commence when Phase 1 is completed. There are 529 upgrades in this programme and it has been compiled from requests received from our elected members via MembersNet to prioritise certain estates.  

Phase 3 will make up the remaining upgrades in Tallaght Central LEA. There are approximately 574 of these. 

Note that all of the upgrade work listed above is located within the geographical boundary of ESBN South Branch.
