Okay. I urge Ms Considine to look at any and all possible alternative solutions because this is causing chaos in my constituency for people who are commuting in and out of Galway city.

In terms of the western rail corridor, there is a recommendation in the rail review for Athenry to Claremorris to be reopened. That is very welcome. The key focus now is to see the funding actually allocated for that project. Can Ms Considine talk a little bit about that?

I think it was mentioned that preliminary work is being done at the moment. Would Iarnród Éireann be in a position to begin construction on that project as soon as the funding is allocated?
