Written Answers. - Coastal Zone Management.

Finian McGrath

Question:

748 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his views on the reality of no further reclamation of estuary lands to address rising sea levels and prevent extensive flooding around Dublin Bay. [20267/03]

Any proposal to reclaim foreshore requires approval under the Foreshore Acts and is also, by virtue of the Plan ning and Development Act 2000, subject to planning permission requirements.

Full consideration would be given, in dealing with any application to my Department for authorisation under the Foreshore Acts for proposed reclamation, to all relevant issues and concerns.
