HC Deb 07 May 1897 vol 49 c12
MR. JAMES DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the footbridge so long promised to be erected by the Great Northern Railway Company at Castleblaney has not been commenced yet; whether he is aware that the Great Northern Railway Company at Castleblaney shunt trains over this level crossing, and that the public are greatly inconvenienced and delayed by the railway gates being closed several times a day while trains are crossing and shunting going on; and whether he can state what course he intends to take in this matter, or when will this long promised bridge be erected?

MR. RITCHIE

The Great Northern Railway Company of Ireland inform the Board of Trade that the plans for a footbridge are now completed, and that tenders for carrying out the work will be invited immediately.
