109. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he intends to make an announcement and place advertisements to inform the public that the environmental impact statement on the future development of Moore Street, Dublin, is now available for public examination and that interested parties have five weeks to make submissions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6423/13]
View answerThe applicant in this case has published notice of the submission of the Environmental Impact Statement in a national newspaper in conformance with the relevant statutory requirement for the notice to appear “in at least one newspaper circulating in the district in which the relevant national monument is situated”. The published notice has also set out the arrangements for public access to and comment on the Environmental Impact Statement. These details have also been posted on my Department’s website since the date of submission of the Environmental Impact Statement on 25 January 2013. My Department also issued this information as a press release to national media.
The Environmental Impact Statement is available for consultation or purchase in my Department’s offices in the Custom House, Dublin, and in Dublin City Council’s Civic Offices. Interested parties have until Friday, I March 2013, to provide me, as Minister, with their comments on it.
