Movement on long-running saga to build pedestrian footbridge in Oughterard

There's movement on a long-running saga to build a pedestrian footbridge in Oughterard.

Consultants have now been appointed to the project, and will lead it through to planning stage.

Locals have sought the footbridge as a solution to safety hazards posed to pedestrians over the existing narrow road bridge through the town.

But the project has encountered enormous difficulties in the past, including environmental concerns.
