Port development and local jobs
De Rossa sought assurance that the decision would not impede port development or jobs. Mitchell said both sides and the interests of those concerned would be weighed.
Could the Minister give an assurance that whenever policy is decided it will not restrict in any way the development of Dublin port and the provision of jobs in that area?
Comment on this
The Deputy's question raises the other side of the coin. Of course due weight has to be given to all these matters before a decision is taken. I am anxious to make the best possible decision bearing in mind the case made on both sides and bearing in mind the interests of the people concerned.
