Ms Eithne Scott-Lennon:

I thank the Deputy for his questions which I will now address. The job creation potential will obviously not happen overnight. Each section of the plan - which is phased, ratified and justified - will bring a certain amount of potential employees with each project. There is no doubt that employee numbers will grow as we develop each project. There will continue to be an effective drive to attract more sailing, yachting and racing events. We work closely with the yacht clubs, of which there are many in Dún Laoghaire. That is a constant aim and ambition of the harbour. It is to be hoped we will drive forward with prudence and speed in terms of job development.
