Mayo bridge 'ready to fall into the river'

By Joan Geraghty, Western People

Cllr Patsy O’Brien told last week’s meeting of Claremorris-Swinford Municipal District that there was a bridge in Robeen that “is ready to fall into the river”.

“No funding was made available for it despite several requests; meanwhile, a parapet wall in Roundfort that I complained about last year, has since fallen down. Nothing is being done and we are certainly getting no money for bridges.

“I am making a passionate appeal [to council management] that you make the strongest representation for bridge repairs in this county.”
