The Chief State Solicitor’s Office issued a draft foreshore lease to solicitors acting for Crosshaven Community Association on 30 April 2013. A further draft was issued on 3 May 2013. This would normally signal that an application is close to conclusion. However, the Association subsequently requested a revision to the legal structure of the lease, with a view to naming the relevant local authority as the lessee.
The CSSO has been further notified by my Department of the urgency in finalising the legal instrument and has confirmed that the matter will receive priority.
