At least on the positive front, I see full cut off light going up everywhere there is development, outside many new department stores and industrial parks.


Where? Lighting seems to be getting a bit better around Dublin, but not too many FCO's.

The problem still is the sheer number of them :roll:


And that they are more than likley on 100% fo the time.

I just noticed them recently outside the gym I go to, also a new Aldi store is being built nearby, all the light are full cut off.

I'll try and get a shot to show you the type...

Just an update to my submission.
The following text has been added to the plan.

In considering proposals for development, or when proposing to undertake
development, the Planning Authority will consider the potential for light pollution
and will seek to minimise its effects”.


See page 87 of The Plan

While not as strong as I would of liked, it is in there and progress has been made!
