(Dublin Central) asked the Minister for Local Government if he will indicate the final plans in respect of the reclaimed area when the canal spur between Suir Road Bridge and St. James's Harbour, Dublin is completely filled in.

My Department has no functions in this matter. I understand that Dublin Corporation are developing the area as a park in accordance with plans publicly displayed and agreed with local residents' associations.

(Dublin Central): Can the Minister give any indication as to when the scheme will be completed?

I have no function in the matter and, therefore, it is not one about which I would have a lot of information. The plans for developing the area were put on public display and have been agreed with all the adjoining residents' associations. I assume, therefore, it is going along all right. I do not know what time it will take.
