Breen asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources further to Question No. 322 of 6 July 2004, if his Department’s expert advisors have examined the information by Clare County Council on the Mullagh-Quilty sewerage scheme; if a decision has been made on the application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFurther information on the foreshore application was requested by one of the organisations which are consulted by my Department in relation to such applications generally. This information was provided by consultants for Clare County Council earlier this month, and has been referred to the organisation concerned. The organisation in question has been asked to provide its views as soon as possible so that consideration of the application, which is otherwise at a very advanced stage, can be finalised.
693 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the position in relation to a shell fish licence for a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21949/04]
View answerThe independent Licensing Authority for Sea-Fishing Boats, established under the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003, has informed me that assessment of an aquaculture plan submitted by the licence applicant is currently being completed within the Department. Approval of an aquaculture plan is a prerequisite for the issuing of a letter of licence offer for the aquaculture fleet segment. The licensing authority proposes to write to the applicant shortly when a definitive assessment of his aquaculture plan has been made.
