asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that the demolition of a Border bridge on an unapproved road through the townlands of Uragh, Belturbet, County Cavan and of Gortoral, County Fermanagh is causing serious hardship to the local people; and that rubble and debris left in the river following the demolition is causing serious flooding to adjoining lands; and, if so, if he will take steps to have the bridge restored.

I understand that Cavan and Fermanagh County Councils are in consultation in this matter, which is one for local settlement in the first instance.
