As the Chairman will be aware, the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Dissolution) Bill is before the Dáil. When it is passed it will have transferred the functions of the authority to Dublin City Council. I do not know what are the implications of that for the relevance of a non-existing board coming before this committee. How are we getting on with the report we are putting together? At the last meeting, we referred to Longboat Quay and whether or not a couple of paragraphs could be included relating to that. We also asked whether we could have the DDDA before the committee. I do not know what the Comptroller and Auditor General would have to say about that but there is not much sense in a non-existent board coming before us after this legislation has passed.
