John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

I am not in the business of making promises. If planning permission is granted to provide the pontoon berths, the contract will be awarded in the autumn and completed by spring 2007. I have visited a number of ports in recent weeks. I intend to visit Ros-a-Mhíl in the next two or three weeks and I will have discussions while I am there. Phases 1 and 2 have been agreed. Phase 1 is about to be achieved as the planning permission should be granted soon. The Deputy and the people of Ros a'Mhíl should not be worried because we will honour whatever commitments have been agreed.
