High cost of installing LED lighting in Offaly revealed
Reporter: );
THE cost of installing outdoor LED lighting is extremely expensive, it has been revealed.
At the recent Tullamore Municipal District meeting, Senior Executive engineer John Connelly said €20,000 would provide just six lights.
There was some confusion over the funding allocation for lighting this year in the Municipal District Area. Mr Connelly believed it was €20,000, however, Councillor Frank Moran said it was €40,000.
Mr Connelly said he hadn’t been informed of that. He added if the allocation was €40,000 then it gave him more scope.
A number of councillors are seeking public lighting for different areas.
