Vol. 481 No. 7
119 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the role or responsibility, if any, of his Department in the granting of licences for marine moorings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17245/97]
The placing of structures, including moorings on, or the occupation of, State owned foreshore, requires permission by way of lease or licence in accordance with the requirements of the Foreshore Acts which are administered by my Department.
All applications for foreshore licences in respect of moorings are vetted to ensure that there is no adverse impact on navigational safety, fishing or the environment. The public consultation process consists of a newspaper notice, public availability of maps, drawings, etc. and public hearings, if necessary.
120 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the name and location of each marina in the State where licensed berths apply; the number of licences issued; the names of the holders of such licences; the charges involved; the dates of issue of these licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17246/97]
My Department grants leases for the development of marinas on State owned foreshore in accordance with plans and drawings approved by me. The licensing of berths within a marina is a matter for the lessees.
