Mr. J. Lenehan
asked the Minister for Local Government if any progress has been made by Mayo County Council during the past three months in connection with proposals for the provision of a drawbridge over the canal at Belmullet, County Mayo.
Since my reply to the Deputy's question of 19th November last, Mayo County Council have requested sanction to the appointment of a consultant to design a drawbridge and a decision on that request will issue shortly. I have also received a request to meet a deputation from the county council in relation to the provision and financing of the drawbridge and I am informing the council that I am prepared to meet the deputation on a date to be arranged.
