asked the Minister for the Environment if he is aware of the urgent need for ramp access to the sea front stretching from Merrion to Killiney in County Dublin; the action, if any, that is being taken in the context of the railway line and the introduction of new bridges; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Any decision on the provision of ramps affording access to the sea is a matter for the local authority, Dún Laoghaire Borough Corporation. I am informed that the electrification of the Howth-Bray railway line necessitates the raising of the level of a number of road bridges crossing the railway line and in some cases the work will involve complete reconstruction of a bridge. The works will be carried out by CIE in consultation with the relevant road authority, and CIE will meet all costs involved.
