I propose to take Questions Nos. 335 to 337, inclusive, together.
Dublin Port Company is subject to the fire safety and protection regulations and legislation which are enforced by Dublin Corporation fire authority. These regulations do not fall under my area of responsibility and the issue of fire safety is not dealt with under the Harbour Acts. The company's emergency response plan is an operational matter for the company and I have not received an outline of it.
