QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive if there are plans to introduce solar-powered compacting bins within the Lucan area and if not at present whether consideration can be given to including such bins in future plans once the upcoming budget has been agreed.

REPLY:

The current plan for the rollout of solar compacting bins will be to install them in a number of villages across the county in the first instance.  Lucan Village is one of the locations where they will be installed as requested under Motion 15 at the LPNC ACM in December 2024. Tender process for the supply and maintenance of the bins is complete, with installation to commence before year end.
