Vol. 540 No. 3
60 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will instruct his officials to withdraw the objections lodged against a planning application by a person (details supplied) in County Sligo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20555/01]
The North-Western Regional Fisheries Board confirms that it has lodged an appeal to An Bord Pleánala against a decision made by Sligo County Council to grant permission for the building of a bungalow, septic tank and proprietary effluent treatment system. The board informs me that its objection is based on fundamental concerns about the adverse impact of the proposed development on water quality on Lough Arrow. This matter falls within the statutory remit of the board for the protection and conservation of fisheries.
