Vol. 497 No. 5

Written Answers - Airstrip Developments.

Michael Ferris

Ceist:

287 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if her attention has been drawn to a planning application from a company (details supplied) to locate an airstrip at the western edge of Roundstone Bog; if she will lodge an objection to this application through her Department in view of the sensitivity of this area particularly in relation to bird life; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25774/98]

I assume that the Deputy is referring to the proposal to exchange State-owned land for a site owned by the company in an adjacent townland for the development of an airstrip. This proposal has been the subject of public consultation and no final decision has yet been made. I undertand that no planning application has been lodged by the promoters with Galway County Council.
