FARMERS TO MEET MINISTER IN GORT OVER FLOODING FEARS

Date Published: 12-Nov-2010

The Minister for Transport will open the Gort by-pass later today, where he'll be faced with farmers who are angry over the lack of action since last year's devastating floods.

I-F-A officials along with locals farmers want to highlight to Noel Dempsey the urgent need for drainage work to be carried out in areas of the county susceptible to flooding.

The 22 kilometre stretch of motorway - which will link the M18 at Crusheen in Co. Clare to north of Gort - will be officially opened at midday today.

It will open to motorists around 3pm.
