Question:143. Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide an update on the assessment by his Department of the most recent foreshore lease application made by a company (details supplied) for the carrying out of geotechnical and geophysical site investigation works off the coast of County Wicklow near Greystones, County Wicklow; if an independent landscape and visuals consultant has at any time been engaged by his Department to assess the visual impact of the offshore wind farm development from protected landscape areas in Bray, Greystones and along the Wicklow coast; in view of the fact that there is no longer a plan in place for an intergovernmental energy export agreement if this application should be considered legally premature and returned to the applicants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
