HC Deb 11 June 1883 vol 280 cc202-3
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Is he aware that the Grand Juries of Leitrim and Roscommon have levied. and have now on hand a considerable part of the sum requisite to construct a bridge over the Shannon at Upper Drumkerriff near Drumshambo, and if he will use his influence with the Grand Juries to have this reform carried out, the present dilapitated bridge being on the leading road from Enniskillen to Boyle, and also said bridge causes such an obstruction of the river that much land is consequently often flooded?

MR. TREVELYAN

I understand, Sir, that this matter is in the hands of a Joint Committee, consisting of members of each of the Grand Juries concerned and the respective County Surveyors. This Committee was not satisfied with the plans originally prepared. Fresh plans are being prepared with all possible despatch, and it is expected that the work will be actually commenced at an early date.
