Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 April 2004
108 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding plans to improve the visual appearance of a bridge (details supplied) in Dublin 8 in view of the fact that the current design is very ugly. [12434/04]
View answerThe Railway Procurement Agency has informed me that there are no plans to change the appearance of Rialto Bridge. Five designs were produced based upon reusing the old balustrades. However, these designs were not acceptable to Dublin City Council or the railway inspectorate on safety grounds. The current balustrade is the standard motorway protection barrier and is as agreed with Dublin City Council.
