MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 23, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"To ask the manager to provide an update on the upgrading of lighting in the Tallaght central area and a projected timeline as to when this will be completed?"

REPLY:

Tallaght Central is located within the boundary of ESBNs South Branch geographical area.

Since the inception of our LED Upgrade Pilot Schemes with them in Spring 2023, some progress has been made, albeit slowly. We have raised the matter with them continuously at our monthly project meetings.

The most recent update from them was the possibility of a considerable number of additional resources being added to support our programme in early 2025. Hopefully this will speed up the number of estates being upgraded throughout the county.

Please find attached the current status sheet for ESBN South Branch. Tallaght Central falls entirely within this branch boundary. Phase 1 is unlikely to be completed this year. Phase 2 has not yet commenced. Phase 2 is made up of councillor’s requests for upgrades from 2023 and was collated on a first come first served basis.
