Ceist:

1539. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the steps he is taking to update the maritime area and foreshore laws particularly for seaweed harvesting; if prior to publishing new legislation he plans to set up a forum representative of all interests, namely, State, industry, owners and harvesters, relevant to the seaweed industry; if the best way forward will be examined and recommendations made to him; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

 My current focus in relation to seaweed harvesting is the legal interface between the rights held by seaweed harvesters and the foreshore licensing regime. Once I am in a position to address the rights question I will announce my decision on further policy development including the question of an overall forum.
