asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware that the foot-bridge over the River Liffey connecting the Lower Road and Palmerstown, Co. Dublin, has been closed by the owner, Lord Iveagh, for some time past, and whether, having regard to the distance as between Chapelizod and Lucan, and the inconvenience which the closing of this bridge has caused the residents, he will take the necessary steps to have the bridge reopened or a new bridge erected.
