This is related to promised legislation and job creation measures. In the past fortnight, an additional 29,100 people gained employment. One job creation measure in my constituency that I have raised here on a number of occasions concerns the maritime area and foreshore (amendment) Bill, which is aimed at making it easier for people who wish to create employment in port and coastal areas to gain access to the planning laws and to obtain planning permission. To grow the figure of 29,100 and reduce the number unemployed, which has today dropped below 10% for the first time in recent years, could the Taoiseach indicate when the Bill, which will assist with job creation measures in many coastal locations, such as Foynes in County Limerick, will be brought before the House?
