I know there were plans to look into doing it at some point but I thought that was quite a while away. If they are still at that brightness I'd be interested to hear what the council have to say! A lot of the older lights are not able to dim ; eg. the energy saver compact flourescent lights are not able to dim (ok some now are but in general they can't).

I will get on to them first thing. Tell you what Albert it looks the bizz I can’t believe it. I can see the SKY

That's just mad, what are the chances? Do let us know how you get on! I wonder if somebody has dimmed the lights just because it's solstice?

Hope it's permanent though

Wow!
Is this the start of some energy saving with city councils !!
Given the cost of generating power these days, its the only sane thing to do.!!!

I was taking to the lady from fingal county council today. She told me that they did not know anything about it but she would make some enquires and get back to me, So 16.00Hrs my phone rings and its the girl from the co council. .Now this is the same girl that put the shields over the lights already. She said they did not dim the lights and went on to ask me how are the shields are holding up. And that if no one complains there will be no reason to touch the lights she was very genuine and was happy to leave them that way. I think a box of chocolates is heading her way.

I will have a look later to see what way the lights are and report back.
