87 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the position regarding the proposed 52 acre infill in Dublin Bay. [12370/04]
View answerCertain matters relating to the application by Dublin Port Company for authorisation under the Foreshore Acts for the proposed reclamation of an area of foreshore in Dublin Bay, including queries relating to title to the foreshore in question, are being pursued with the port company. Decisions on the further action to be taken in respect of the application will be made when these matters have been finalised.
There are no proposals for the preparation of a strategic plan for Dublin Bay by my Department. Preparation of such a plan would, in accordance with the Planning and Development Acts, be a matter for the relevant local authorities in the first instance.
