The report on the landslides at Dooncarton, Glengad, Barnachuille and Pollathomais, County Mayo, on 19 September 2003, prepared by consulting engineers on behalf of Mayo County Council, recommended that works on the Cornhill road and bridge be carried out. Works on the road and bridge have been completed since last autumn, funded by grant aid from my Department. Any proposal for widening the road at this location would be a matter for funding by Mayo County Council from its own resources as supplemented by the discretionary improvement grant provided by my Department. The discretionary improvement grant to Mayo County Council in 2005 is €1.497 million.
