Vol. 472 No. 3
299 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Marine if he will waive the decision to increase a foreshore lease rent on a sea angling club (details supplied) in County Mayo in view of the fact that it is a disadvantaged area. [23179/96]
The increase in rental to £500 per annum was advised by the Valuation Office and is considered to be a fair and reasonable rental for the area of one acre of foreshore involved. It is public policy that market value rentals should be considered at every rent review date. However, if the club submits its best offer to me giving convincing reasons it should be accepted the matter will be considered.
