§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary if he will obtain information from the county Longford Constabulary regarding the state of two wooden bridges on the public road leading from Longford to Leitrim, in the Ballinamuck police district, in order that the Upper Erne Drainage Committee, who are responsible for those death traps, may be compelled to erect suitable structures?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIf the bridges referred to are in charge of the trustees of a drainage district it is open to the persons who use them to complain to the Board of Works, who have power to move in the matter. The information given in the question is not sufficient to enable the Board to identify the bridges. The constabulary can hardly be expected to give an opinion on the subject.
§ Mr. FARRELLWhen the particulars have been forwarded will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to make communications?
§ Mr. BIRRELLAs the Board have no means of identifying these bridges, I do not think very much can be done. If information is given to me to identify the two bridges I will forward it to the Board of Works.
