Vol. 233 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Waterford Bridge.

17.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the need to repair or preferably to replace Dromanna Bridge, Villierstown, Cappoquin, County Waterford; what proposals he or Waterford County Council may have to deal with the matter; and what assistance he is prepared to give by way of grant or technical assistance for the project.

The formulation of proposals in relation to this bridge is a matter for Waterford County Council who are the responsible road authority. The council have been asked to submit detailed information in relation to traffic flows in the vicinity of the bridge so that the preliminary proposals submitted to my Department may be evaluated. On receipt of this information the proposal will receive further consideration.

I may add for the Deputy's information that the council have employed a consulting engineer to give them technical assistance on this project. It is not possible at this stage to say what assistance by way of grant will be available.
