Carlow County Council is responsible for the provision and maintenance of public lighting in the County. This includes on street lights, lights in housing estates that have been taken in charge, roads, parks and laneways.
Public Lighting Fault Reporting
Carlow County Council is responsible for the provision and maintenance of public lighting throughout the county. Public lighting maintenance is carried out on behalf of the Council by Killaree Lighting Services.
How do I report a public lighting fault?
If you notice a streetlight that is not working, flickering, damaged, or otherwise defective, please report it through the Dead Sure App site. This is the quickest and most efficient way to ensure the fault is logged and attended to promptly.
How to Report a Fault - Step by Step
Alternatively, you can email roadsoffice@carlowcoco.ie with the following information:
- Town, village, or street name
- Pole number (if available)
- Location of the light (for example, outside House No. 8)
- Your name and contact details
Please Note
- If a housing estate has not been taken in charge by Carlow County Council, the developer remains responsible for the maintenance of the public lighting. In these instances, any faults should be reported directly to the developer.
- Where a fault is caused by an underground power cable, the issue must be referred to ESB Networks. As a result, repairs may take longer to complete.
