Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the sources of funding, including contributions in kind, for all aspects of the proposed venture relating to the foreshore lease planning application to construct an offshore electricity generating station on Galway bay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36429/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, I have responsibility for regulating the use of the foreshore in Ireland in accordance with the Foreshore Act 1933, as amended, and the relevant environmental directives in force at the time of granting any particular foreshore lease or licence.
I have no role in relation to the funding of any project which is the subject of an application for a foreshore lease or licence, such issues being a matter for the promoters of each individual project.
