735. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the detail of exact funding approved for the repairs to a bridge (details supplied); and if he will request Limerick County Council to erect a memorial to the two men who died tragically on 29 August 2015 while carrying out maintenance works at the bridge.

An allocation of €700,000 has been provided to Limerick Council in 2017 for repairs to Thomond Bridge.
Approval from my Department would not be required in respect of any memorial plaque which Limerick Council may wish to provide at Thomond Bridge. However, I appreciate that the local authority may wish to erect a plaque to commemorate the two brave men who perished and can see no difficulty with them doing so.
