74. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will clarify whether a proposed new bridge over the railway line at Park Carcur, County Wexford, is designed only for access to the development of 413 accommodation units for which planning permission exists, or if the design is meant also to facilitate a larger carriageway which would lead to a future new bridge over the River Slaney to Crosstown; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 73 and 74 together.

As the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The issues raised by the Deputy concerning agreements between Iarnród Éireann and Wexford County Council regarding a proposed new bridge over the railway line at Park Carcur, County Wexford, and any details of such, is an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
