Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

Things can be made to happen without necessarily having legislative power. I hear what the Deputy is saying, but I do not know whether his view is formally conveyed from members of the forum. They seem to be happy enough and if they are not, they should say so. However, I hear what the Deputy is saying about special and strategic development zones and putting the measure on a statutory basis. I shall pass that view to the Minister, Deputy Roche. If members of the forum feel as strongly as the Deputy does on the issue, they should make their views known.
