asked the Minister for Local Government when he proposes to have the Bailey Bridge at Lanesboro, County Longford, replaced by a permanent structure as the noise made by the bridge is a source of great annoyance to residents in the Lanesboro area and is also retarding the progress of Lanesboro as a tourist resort because boating parties will not remain overnight because of the unbearable noise.
