asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when the E.S.B. will start work on the erection of a new bridge over the reservoir at Dripsey, County Cork, to replace Fitzgibbon Bridge which leads to the schools and creamery; whether he is aware that it is essential in the public interest to erect the new bridge before the existing one is submerged, and, if so, if he will ask the board to expedite the work.

I am informed by the E.S.B. that the question of the replacement of Fitzgibbon Bridge is being discussed with a representative of the people concerned. I have been assured by the board that every effort will be made to bring these discussions to an early conclusion.
