In the context of the decision to wind-up the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA), the Government has confirmed Dublin City Council (DCC) as the organisation under which the future regeneration of the Dublin Docklands is to be continued. In practical terms, DCC is providing staffing and other supports to the DDDA to allow it to continue to operate for the remainder of its period of operation. My Department is currently examining the legal and financial arrangements needed to complete this process. The transfer of assets and other property is being considered in this context.

The most recent annual accounts of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, for the year 2011, have been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and are also available on the Authority's website, at The annual accounts for 2012 are being finalised and are expected to be submitted to my Department shortly. Once received, the accounts will be brought to Government after which they will, as in previous years, be laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. The Authority continues to operate on a 'going-concern' basis and, as such, is in a position to meet its day-to-day financial requirements.
