Let me ask two brief questions. The first relates to the water management studies which are being undertaken at present, can the Minister give me any indication of when the management plan will be available? Secondly, in relation to the successful tender, and I do not want to interfere in the process, may I ask the Minister to positively consider in the light of very bad local experience in the past that positive discrimination in terms of local employment would be required or written into the successful tender? That has not been the experience in the past.

That what?

I ask that preference be given to local unemployed people, properly notified through FÁS.

In Dún Laoghaire or Ringsend?

Both. Dare I say it, but we have the extraordinary spectacle of people coming from as far away as Mayo to work on sites in the middle of Ringsend and elsewhere and local people being told in advance that they are not to apply and are not required to apply. What I am simply saying is that if taxpayers' money is going to be made available that local unemployed people should not be discriminated against in advance which is what has happened in the past. In respect of that second question, I am asking the Minister to give some indication in accordance with tendering procedures that the successful bidder should, where possible, take on local people through the normal channels of FÁS and so on. The model is already in existence.

This is getting to be a very long question.

I can agree with the Deputy when he says what workmen from County Mayo are both efficient and effective and able to carry out functions of this nature anywhere in the world——

They do not happen to pay taxes. They work in the black economy on occasions.

I think the Deputy well knows that any contracts granted include all the tax clauses and have certificates attached.

The Minister has been advised of the abuses.

Question No. 12 in the name of Deputy Jimmy Deenihan.
