Mr. Molley
Dublin Corporation have a consulting engineer engaged in the design and planning of pedestrian underpasses at O'Connell Bridge. I cannot say when construction is likely to commence. The corporation have also indicated they have in mind the provision of a subway between North Earl Street and Henry Street but a proposal has not been made to me in the matter.
