Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. D. Ahern)

An application was made to my Department by Clare County Council for a foreshore licence for an effluent outfall pipe in connection with the proposed Quilty sewerage scheme.

Following preliminary consideration of the application, further information has been requested from the County Council. This information was provided and is being examined by the Department's expert advisors. A decision on the application will be made as soon as possible.
