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

An application for foreshore authorisation for an outfall pipe in connection with the development of the sewerage scheme in question was submitted to my Department by Mayo County Council. Consideration of the application is at an advanced stage, and a decision on the matter will be conveyed to the local authority shortly.
