Will the Taoiseach provide an update on the maritime Bill? Will he also update the House on the major problem in the Howth area of the pay-for-parking proposal on Howth pier being introduced by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Simon Coveney? This will have an impact on thousands of jobs and tourism in the area. The people of Howth, Sutton, Baldoyle and Clontarf are worried about this because 300 jobs will be directly affected. The pier is an asset that we should protect. I encourage the Taoiseach to ask the Minister not to introduce the scheme.
