Can I ask about Ballycar and the flood challenge. I got the train up to Ennis lately and I could see the water levels rising before my eyes. This is a real risk that the line between Limerick and Galway could be knocked out because of increased rainfall due to climate change. It will be catastrophic if that line has to close because of flooding. I am aware that responsibility in this regard does not all lie with Irish Rail, but I would like Mr. Meade's view.
