82. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will immediately request the Industrial Development Agency in the interest of health and safety to provide public lighting adjacent to the road leading to their industrial units and lands at Langford Street, Killorglin, County Kerry; if he will take into consideration that this roadway is extremely dangerous for members of the public and employees that walk this roadway on a regular basis in the late evenings and early mornings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The management of IDA Ireland’s property function, including the upkeep and maintenance of its business parks, is a day to day operational matter for the Agency and not one in which I have a function. I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Agency owns approximately 0.7 hectares of marketable lands at Farrantoreen, Killorglin, Co Kerry. The lands are serviced by an IDA roadway, which leads off from the main public roadway. A lighting remediation review is currently being undertaken by IDA Ireland at this location. I understand that the Agency met with representatives from the local Residents Association on the 18th October last and informed them of its intention to carry out the review.
