The Taoiseach will be aware that Howth is a beautiful village in Dublin Bay north with a great maritime tradition. I call on him under the legislation to raise my concerns about the potential loss of 300 pier jobs in the Howth area due to a proposal to introduce paid parking. The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, was at a meeting on the matter last night, along with me. We gave a commitment that we would raise it in the Dáil and lobby the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney, on the proposal. We are concerned-----

That should be tabled as a Topical Issue.

The legislation is the sea fisheries and maritime jurisdiction (amendment) Bill. Will the Taoiseach ensure that these 300 jobs on the pier in Howth are given priority in the coming weeks?

I am unsure of the details discussed at the meeting last night, but the Deputy has raised the matter with me as he said he would - as has the Minister, Deputy Bruton - and has completed his commitment to the group. Seriously, the Government is concerned about every job and is interested in the opportunity to create as many jobs as possible. The views expressed at the meeting will be taken into account. The Minister, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State, Deputy McGinley, are considering the situation.
