ESB officials in firing line

OFFICIALS from the ESB are to be asked to attend a future meeting of Limerick County Council to be grilled on the โ€œbad service they are providingโ€ to the county.

Cllr Eddie Wade said that replacement lights and new lights are not being erected by the ESB, despite being paid up front by its biggest customer – Limerick County Council.ย  โ€œOfficials from the ESB came in here to County Hall some time back and gave commitments that they would give us a proper service.

โ€œBut nothing has changed to date. We are blaming the executives, not the workers. But we need answers,โ€ he told councillors at the November meeting of Limerick County Council.

The director of Transportation and Water Services, Paul Crowe, replied: โ€œI share your dissatisfaction with the ESB and I canโ€™t say there has been any great improvement since the ESB officials were in here the last timeโ€.ย  Cllr Wade asked that ESB officials should be invited into County Hall, which was agreed by councillors present.
