During the term of the last Government - I know that Deputy Donohoe is not responsible for the last Government as such, but he was a member of it - a move was made to get rid of some so-called quangos or agencies. One of those agencies was the Digital Hub in Dublin, which was to be subsumed into Dublin City Council. Legislation which was promised at the time and is still promised, namely the Digital Hub development agency (dissolution) Bill, was to dissolve the Digital Hub and give effect to its merger with Dublin City Council. The description in the Government's legislative programme is "Work is underway", which I have never seen before. How long is that work going to take, given that the legislation is already five years in gestation?
