I am in Leinster House. This is quite the document. I am struggling through it page by page with a dictionary and several online reference tools. The maritime spatial planning directive obliged us to have a plan in place by the end of March. Is this part of that? The obligation was mentioned in the document's FAQs.

How does this affect people on the ground, even all over Dublin, who are not out on the seafront? Where does Mr. McCabe see employment, the flow of skills and other accompanying strategies that need to take place fitting in? I ask Mr. McCabe for an idea of timelines in terms of when we will be up and running. This will be dominating our thinking and planning.
