asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state (1) the cause of the delay in commencing the construction of the Gortnascarry Bridge, Beaufort, County Kerry, and (2) whether a grant will be allocated from his Department to help towards its erection.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gortnascarry Bridge, County Kerry.
I would refer the Deputy to the reply given to him on 30th November last.
The preliminary drawings mentioned in that reply have since been submitted to the Department and approved, but detailed documents must be prepared before the work can proceed.
It would not be possible at present to allocate a special grant from the Road Fund towards the cost of the work.
