The works first commenced last year, and have yet to be completed.
The ESB is being criticised following further delays to cabling works in a Laois town.
The removal of overhead electricity lines began over 12 months ago on French Church Street in Portarlington, but were halted as to not effect the Christmas trade, and have not recommenced since.
Work was due to resume on September 19th, but has been pushed back again to October 11th.
Sinn Fein councillor Aidan Mullins says the new commencement date means businesses and Christmas shoppers will be affected:
