Vol. 125 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Bridge.

asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that the construction of a bridge at Doory, Portmagee, County Kerry, would facilitate all the tenants in that townland in the transport of turf and farm produce; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take in the matter.

I cannot trace any application which might refer to the matter, but if the Deputy will let me have full particulars, I will have it investigated.

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that I received a document in October, 1950, in which the case was made that there was only one family depending on this work? I can submit facts to show that there are at least half a dozen families depending on the construction of this particular bridge. In view of that, will the Parliamentary Secretary have the matter re-examined and see that cognisance is taken of these additional facts, which were not in the possession of the Department in October, 1950?

If there is further information available, over and above that supplied in 1950, and if it is furnished to me, I will have the matter looked into.

That is fair enough.
