Is the Minister aware that an additional incident occurred on 31 January 1985 involving an ammonia trailer? Could he inform the House of the outcome of his investigation into that incident?

That is a separate question.

A final supplementary question from Deputy De Rossa.

It is not really good enough for the Minister to say that that is a separate question. He has already assured us that steps had been taken following the derailment——

There is another question dealing with that, Question No. 69.

The Minister indicated that following the derailment in November adequate steps had been taken to ensure that it did not happen again. Now Deputy Allen indicates that a further incident has occurred. Could the Minister tell us what specific steps CIE are taking to prevent a recurrence of these derailments?

All I can tell the House is that, following the visit of the area inspecting officer, certain points were made to CIE. They were left in no doubt as to how seriously I viewed the situation and they have assured me that all reasonable steps have been taken to prevent a recurrence.

What is wrong with telling us what steps have been taken?

The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
