I’m an owner of an apartment. A MUD of 5 commercial units, 1 medical centre, and 34 apartments.  

What I’m enquiring about is solely the common areas - we are told there are three meters relating to this.  

I’m looking to access: 

-  the plans submitted by our builder, , for the electrical services laid. I need to understand what infrastructure was connected to each meter at the time. This was around 2004 (build completed in July 2005) 

- I’d also like copies of any works done since to amend lines so we can see what infrastructure is now connected to each meter.  

- our bills from1 Feb to 16 Sept 2024 (or closest thereabouts) or the costs to this date (we were told our rates were 67c per kilowatt hour for most of this period however you may not have rate information.  

I don’t have an MPRN number. I took screenshots of what appears to be our three meters, attached. 

As an aside, the smart meter photo was taken at 21:17 yet both smart meters read a different time (19:32 and 20:11). I understand you will contact me if you need clarity.

In response to a previous email the ESB allowed access to a table of connections in the Millers Glen development, Swords/Oldtown. That table was current to the end of October, 2020.Since that table was compiled several hundreds more homes have been connected. The newer areas have been sold as Longview, Meadowbank and most recently West Mill. We are seeking the total number of homes connected to the ESB grid since the beginning of the Gannon Homes development and do not need an elaborate table. Is it possible to request that new total connection data? The area of our request is south of the R125- north of the Broadmeadow River- east of the Glen Ellen Road/ Castleview extension.

In 2018 Bord Pleanala approved TA04.301197. It was for a housing development on route L3004 in Glounthaune. As part of the approval, the developer (O'Mahony Developments, Clash, Cork T45 S382) was to provide a cycle path from the development (Harper's Creek) to Glounthaune railway station. Lighting was to be provided on the cycle path and also to two pedestrian crossings (Toucan). The cycleway and crossing at Harper's Creek were completed and are fully operational. The other crossing at the railway station was completed put has never been activated due to having no electricity supply.

I am trying to find out why. To that end I would like the following information dating from 1 January 2018 to August 31, 2023.

  1. Copies of all communications that can be read, viewed or listened to between ESB and O'Mahony Developments in regard to the provision of electricity along the cycleway and crossings.
  2. Copies of all communications that can be read, viewed, or listened to between ESB and Cork County Council in regard to the provision of electricity along the cycleway and crossings.
