General Scheme of Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Dissolution) Bill 2014: Discussion

2:40 pm

Mr. Owen Keegan:

As stated earlier, we are absolutely committed to continuing the social, economic and environmental regeneration of the area. There will be a dedicated unit which will be responsible for the docklands. We would need this in any event as a development agency under the SDZ and in terms of the wider docklands agenda we want to advance. Staff have already been appointed to the unit and more will be allocated. There will not be a chief executive, as such, but somebody will be placed in charge of the unit. I have not made a decision yet as to the nature of the grade that the individual will hold. For the moment we have assigned an executive manager to handle the transition. That person is likely to remain in place for the next six to 12 months. At that point, I will be obliged to take a view on the matter. I will ask Mr. Maguire to comment on levies.
