Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 February 2014
503. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the steps a person at a location (details supplied) in County Kerry would need to take to remove silt and other deposit material from a river bed as the material is causing flooding at this location; if his Department will agree to the removal of this material; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9641/14]
View answerThe Foreshore Acts require that a lease or licence must be obtained from the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government for the carrying out of works or placing structures or material on, or for the occupation of or removal of material from, State-owned foreshore, which represents the greater part of the foreshore.
Details on applying for a foreshore consent can be found on my Department’s website at: http://www.environ.ie/en/Foreshore/ApplyingforaForeshoreConsent/. As part of the mandatory pre-application process, my Department will provide information specific to the nature of the application.
