Michael Ahern (Cork East, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for giving me a few minutes. First, as the Deputy who has been 27 years representing the Cobh area and who lives nearest to the westerly wind side of the island, I also have a particular concern about my own area just outside the bridge. The Minister answered a number of my queries, one of which related to meeting with Cobh town council whose members are the elected representatives of the area. I have been in contact with the Minister's office and spoken to him, and I am glad to say that he will meet with them.
