369. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his attention has been drawn to an application by a club (details supplied) for a licence through his Department; if this can be expedited to reflect the limited time available to the club; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21355/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that an application for a licence to excavate at the site referenced was received in my Department on 26 April. On the same date, and in line with standard procedures, this application was sent to the National Museum of Ireland (NMI) for any necessary observations. The NMI has up to two weeks to provide observations on receipt of which my Department will proceed to process the application.
