There will be light — councillor

From darkness, hopefully soon into light.

In an update on the street lights situation in Kilcullen, as recently highlighted on the Diary, further information has been provided by Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer, writes Brian Byrne. Basically, there will be light, hopefully soon.

The longest outstanding issue is the lighting opposite Moanbane Park, about which the councillor has been making representations since the fault was reported in July 2024. She reports that a new cable and distribution pillar have been installed, and the Council is now awaiting connection by the ESB. The Diary understands that this is a somewhat convoluted process in administration terms.

Repairs to a street light at Hillside opposite Centra, also reported in July, were held up due to a delay in sourcing materials. The councillor has been told that repairs will be carried out this week, weather permitting.

Also scheduled for this week are repairs to the seven street lights from Conroy Park to The Hideout, which are to be retrofitted with new LED lamps. Again, weather permitting.

Cllr O'Dwyer encourages the public to notify her of any other defective lights and she will follow up.
