Public lighting being provided for Kildare residential area

Public lighting is to be provided  for the residents of Cluain Dara in Derrinturn, according to Cllr Chris Pender.

The Social Democrats general election candidate in Kildare South was in contact with the appointed receivers KPMG.

He said the lighting will "enhance the safety and security of the area."

Cllr Pender said KPMG has confirmed that a lighting contractor has started work on site and will  complete all necessary works as approved by Kildare County Council.

"Although the public lighting will take a few weeks to be fully operational due to the lead time for ESB connections and the delivery of specific replacement parts, the commitment to resolve this issue marks a crucial advancement for the community. KPMG’s partner, overseeing the project, assured that their team and contractor are in frequent contact with  Kildare County Council and will continue to keep them updated on the progress,"  he added.

Cllr Pender expressed his satisfaction with this development, noting, “This is a significant step forward in ensuring the safety of Cluain Dara’s residents. I am pleased to see swift action being taken following our discussions, and I will continue to closely monitor the progress to ensure that all works are completed promptly.”

He said the residents of Cluain Dara can "look forward to an enhanced living environment with the upcoming completion of the public lighting."
