Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2017
142. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if he will refuse a foreshore licence (details supplied) in view of the substantial local and environmental concerns. [7853/17]
View answerThe application for foreshore consent referred to has yet to come before me for a decision. The next stage in the processing of this application is that all aspects of the application and its supporting documentation together with any issues raised by the public, other interests or prescribed bodies will be carefully considered by the Marine Licence Vetting Committee (MLVC ) within the context of the applicable legislative framework (including Environmental Impact Assessment and Appropriate Assessment legislation).
I will then make a decision on this application following the careful examination and consideration of the application and supporting documentation and all views/comments received including those of the prescribed bodies and the public.
