Early this month, Diageo announced major development plans to regenerate or refocus much of the company's land. One of the sites in question lies adjacent to the Digital Hub, a State agency which was supposed to be transferred into Dublin City Council under the previous Government. The legislation to facilitate this move remains on the legislative programme for this year. When will it come before the House? The Digital Hub may have an opportunity to secure additional land when the Diageo lands become available.

I will ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Denis Naughten, to respond.

The drafting of the legislation is ongoing in the Department. The Deputy is correct that there may be opportunities to further expand the Digital Hub. This resource has been a massive success and we would like to see replicated in other parts of the country.
