Following the road accident and tragic death of an elderly person on Iona Road at the junction of Crawford Avenue in December 2012, I made renewed calls to Dublin City Council at the January 2013 Meeting of the Central Area Committee to upgrade the street lighting on Iona Road.

Dublin City Council advised me that “The Public Lighting Section will examine the lighting on Iona Road and any improvements deemed necessary will be considered for inclusion in a future lighting programme subject to the necessary finances being made available.”

 I will continue to follow-up on this issue with Dublin City Council and hopefully we will see an upgrade of the public lighting on this busy road soon. Mary
