Thomas Pringle

Question:

332. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if Roinn na Gaeltachta has considered funding the provision of a footbridge on the R257 at Bunbeg, County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29518/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

The facility to which the Deputy refers is the responsibility of Donegal County Council. My Department does not have available to it a fund or scheme which could be used to assist with provision of a footbridge of this nature.
