There is not much more I can add to what my colleagues have already said. I live within ten yards of Carlingford, which I believe to be the tourism capital of the country. I am lucky in that I live by the sea. It is very important to me, my family and my own diaspora when they return home. A number of colleagues were in Carlingford a couple of weeks ago at a think tank. They had a great weekend.

I believe the Dún Laoghaire harbour company will benefit from Ms Scott-Lennon's enthusiasm and gusto in terms of achieving the aims set out for the area. I have not visited the area in more than ten years but there is no doubt it is a great facility. Dún Laoghaire and the Dublin area in general will benefit from Ms Scott-Lennon's passion for her community and area.

Ms Scott-Lennon referred earlier to the junior world championships held last year in Dún Laoghaire. Does she envisage similar world championship events being held in Dún Laoghaire in the future? Also, what were the benefits to the people of Dún Laoghaire of the championships being held there last year?

As stated earlier, Dún Laoghaire is a beautiful harbour. I, too, wish Ms Scott-Lennon well. I believe she is the right person for the job. Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company is lucky to have a lady of her calibre at its helm.
