MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 32

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the LED upgrade programme for upgrading public lighting in South Dublin County Council. I understand €5.6M was allocated in the 2025 annual budget for this work.

REPLY:

The 2025 revenue budget for Public Lighting is €5.6m and covers maintenance, energy charges, upgrades to public lighting and service support costs. The LED upgrade programme is funded through the capital programme and the funding source for this is annual transfer from revenue to capital. For 2025, this transfer is €850,000 and the capital code currently has a balance of €3.5m.

The total programme cost for the LED upgrade programme is estimated to be €8.74m and the annual expenditure will be dependant on the resource levels provided to us from ESB.

A programme update can be found in the response to Q5 of this meetings agenda
