Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. J. Higgins): The flooding of the Sligo/Limerick railway line near Gort, County Galway is connected with the general flooding problem in the South Galway area and will be examined as part of the multi-disciplinary study being commissioned at present by the Commissioners of Public Works into the flooding problem in the Gort-Ardrahan area of South Galway.

Responsibility for maintaining freight services in operation is a matter for Iarnrod Éireann. I am advised that freight services between Limerick and Claremorris were re-routed in order to by-pass the flooded areas.
