Year in, year out, the line has been closed at certain times of the year due to flooding, and people have ended up getting a bus from Ennis to Limerick and back. People buy a train ticket expecting to get a train. It is a wonderful service. For a few million euro, this problem could be resolved forever and a day. It has gone on long enough. The railway line from Limerick to Galway, via Ennis, is one of the fastest-growing lines in the country and therefore the investment is needed and should be made.
