Vol. 5 No. 21

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - DONEGAL-DERRY BORDER (TRAFFIC REGULATIONS).

asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that the arrangements for handling goods traffic at the road Border stations between Derry and Donegal are entirely inadequate and with the restrictions on motor traffic and the closing of the main road from Derry to Letterkenny grave inconvenience and vexatious delays are caused to Donegal traders; whether he is aware that on Tuesday evening, the 4th instant, three lorries laden with merchandise for Donegal which arrived at the Bridgend road station about 4 p.m. were held up and kept on the roadside until 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning, the officer shutting down his office at 4.35 p.m. and refusing to examine any more goods. and what steps it is proposed to take to remedy this state of affairs.

I am having inquiries made into this matter, and I must ask the Deputy to defer his question until they are completed.
