604. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the outcome of ongoing talks which are taking place between his Department and Donegal County Council regarding the issuance of a foreshore licence for a location (details supplied) in County Donegal; when it is expected that a licence will be issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24902/15]
View answerMy Department wrote to Donegal County Council on 18 December 2014 to advise that, on the basis of legal advice furnished to the Department, it is not possible to include a covenant providing for sub-leasing in the proposed lease of an area of reclaimed foreshore at Burtonport Harbour between the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the County Council. In that correspondence, Donegal County Council was asked to inform my Department how it wishes to proceed in the matter. A response to that correspondence is awaited.
