Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

A grant of €900,000 was allocated this year by my Department to Kildare County Council for improvement works at Salmon Leap Bridge, Leixlip. My Department has been advised by the council that it expects to complete the work and draw down the grant in the current year.
