I thank the Minister of State for his reply. The Cork docklands is a primary vehicle for the development of the city. As the Minister of State said, the Government gave a commitment to a Seveso site.

Will the Minister of State convey to the Minister for Finance and to the banks the need to allow liquidity to flow to small enterprises, many of which are struggling? There are small businesses in Cork which need €5,000 or €10,000 and which are being choked by the banks. That should not be allowed to happen.
