asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state when the bridge across the G.N.R. line between Coolock and Howth Road will be completed; and if he will state the reason for the delay in opening the completed portion of Vernon Avenue to traffic.

I understand that the Dublin Corporation expect to have the bridge to which the Deputy refers completed by the end of September next. It is a matter for the Corporation to decide when to open the completed portion of Vernon Avenue to traffic.
