Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fail TD Brendan Smith and Councillor Aiden Fitzpatrick have received confirmation from Cavan County Council that they are seeking conservation advice with a view to retaining the lattice railings on Claragh Bridge, Cootehill.
“Cavan County Council has closed the Claragh Road for bridge rehabilitation works on Claragh Bridge as it is in a dangerous condition. Some local residents raised with me the need to retain the railings and I welcome Cavan County Council’s commitment in this respect”, stated Deputy Brendan Smith.
