On retention of jobs and employment in the area, an SDZ is quite advantageous for development reasons. Has the council considered a reserve of local employment? There was a 20% clause originally in the DDA plan. I would like to see long-term job guarantees. Mr. Maguire said a community liaison officer has been appointed. It is one thing to talk to communities but delivering for them is another matter. Employment and housing are two areas that are badly needed in the north docks and south docks area for the indigenous communities.
