On the quarterly figures from the Central Statistics Office, as raised earlier-----

We will not go there. This is about legislation.

This is related to promised legislation and job creation measures. In the past fortnight, an additional 29,100 people gained employment. One job creation measure in my constituency that I have raised here on a number of occasions concerns the maritime area and foreshore (amendment) Bill, which is aimed at making it easier for people who wish to create employment in port and coastal areas to gain access to the planning laws and to obtain planning permission. To grow the figure of 29,100 and reduce the number unemployed, which has today dropped below 10% for the first time in recent years, could the Taoiseach indicate when the Bill, which will assist with job creation measures in many coastal locations, such as Foynes in County Limerick, will be brought before the House?

The Deputy is correct. The legislation is being drafted in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the intention is to have it enacted before the end of the session.

There is great joy, excitement and celebration in north County Dublin and many other parts of the island of Ireland, both North and South, at present. I ask that the Taoiseach join me in congratulating the Irish cricket team, which has just won its second match in the World Cup.

We all join the Deputy.

The team has done us proud again. I ask the Taoiseach to acknowledge that on the floor of the House.

Hear, hear.

That is not really a matter for the Order of Business.

The team is trying to get 279 in sunny Brisbane. We wish the team good luck.

Hear, hear.
