Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 February 2022
988. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when applications for aquaculture licences (details supplied) which has been years being processed in his Department and now with the Aquaculture Licensing Appeals Board will be decided; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8407/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Aquaculture Licence Appeals Board (ALAB) is an independent body established by statute for the purpose of considering appeals of Ministerial decisions in respect of aquaculture licence applications.
The matters referred to by the Deputy are operational matters for ALAB and my Department has no function in that regard. The Deputy’s question will therefore be referred to ALAB for attention and response directly to the Deputy by ALAB.
