The unemployment figures for Dún Laoghaire will be disturbing when they are circulated. Can I ask the Taoiseach what urgent plans are being undertaken to introduce a harbour Bill or for the development of Dún Laoghaire harbour which is one of the greatest job creation sources we have and which is not being developed at the moment?
The Deputy is raising specific matters worthy of separate questions. This is essentially a statistical reply.
