asked the Minister for Local Government if any plans have been submitted to his Department for the construction of a bridge at Tinnock by Wexford County Council; and, if so, the cost of the plans and if it is chargeable on the rates.

Plans for a new bridge and approaches at Tinnock, County Wexford are under examination in my Department. The cost of the project estimated at £55,000 would not fall on the rates.
