The application concerned was lodged by Donegal County Council with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in March 2009. In April 2009 that Department requested from the applicant certain additional information without which it would not be possible to progress the application. The additional information was only received by my Department last week.
My Department has also recently requested further information and clarifications from the Council about the application before it can proceed to public and prescribed bodies consultation and assessment by the Marine Licence Vetting Committee.
In the circumstances it is not possible to indicate at this stage when this application will be determined.
