asked the Minister for Local Government if his Department will be prepared to undertake the construction of a bridge between the mainland and Achill Beg island, County Mayo with a view to providing access to this island for local tenants who own land there, and also for the further development of the fishing and tourist industries.

40.
The construction of a bridge at the location referred to would be a matter, in the first instance, for Mayo County Council, as road authority. My Department has received no proposals from the council in the matter.
If Mayo County Council can take some steps towards providing that bridge, would the Minister and the Department co-operate with them?
In so far as I possibly can.
