Taoiseach Enda Kenny has expressed doubt that concerns about the cost of building a bridge between counties Down and Louth can be resolved before the deadline to retain EU funding.
Construction of the Narrow Water bridge between Warrenpoint and Carlingford was put on hold in June after the tender prices for the bridge came in some €15 million over the original estimated cost of €18.3 million.
