View answerThe costs incurred by my Department, beyond the normal staffing administration costs for the processing of a particular application which are not itemised separately, are the legal costs associated with the drafting of the lease and the cost associated with the statutory requirement to publish the Notice of Determination for the foreshore lease in Iris Oifigiúil.
The legal costs incurred in the preparation of the foreshore lease documents for this lease are being recouped from Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland (SEAI) and to date, my Department has recouped €43,154.39. The cost of the notice in Iris Oifigiúil was €305.00.
