Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 March 2024
111. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage in tabular form, per local authority, the value of the contracts for street light maintenance for 2023, 2022 and 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10887/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not have a direct involvement in executive functions such as the procurement of contracts for the maintenance of public lighting, carried out by a local authority. Under Section 149 of the Local Government Act 2001, the Chief Executive of a local authority is responsible for the executive functions of the local authority, and for that purpose to manage and control generally, the administration and business of the authority, subject to law. Accordingly, my Department does not hold the specific information requested, but it may be available from individual local authorities.
