View answerThe application for an aquaculture and foreshore licence submitted to my Department by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and its accompanying Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) are currently under active consideration in accordance with the provisions of the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act and 1933 Foreshore Act.
