Ceist:

45 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if the application for a foreshore licence by Waterford County Council will be processed in relation to the proposed new sewerage scheme at Tramore, County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16038/99]

Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 44 and 45 together.

In accordance with standard practice, Waterford County Council was requested on 21 May 1999 to publish in a local newspaper notice of the application for a foreshore licence and the availability of an environmental impact statement in relation to the proposed works, in order to allow the public the opportunity to comment.

Any comments arising from that process will be referred to the council for its response before I am able to consider the application fully and make a decision.
