Mr. Owen Keegan:

There is an implication in what the Deputy is saying that there is going to be a docklands authority within Dublin City Council. The Dublin Docklands Development Authority is being abolished and Dublin City Council will be assuming its responsibilities. Overall, I will be the manager with responsibility for the docklands. It will be within the existing management structure of the city council. I will be allocating staff to it. As an interim arrangement, we have assigned an executive manager and other professional and administrative staff will be allocated. There will not be a distinct and separate entity within the city council with responsibility for the docklands, just as there are no longer such entities for Ballymun or Temple Bar. It will be part of the city council.
