What I would be concerned about is the delay in granting foreshore licences. There has been talk for years of having one body dealing with the granting of foreshore licences and the sanctioning of sewerage schemes. As I said here previously, if one happens to be living in a coastal town or village, one could be waiting a long time for a sewerage scheme if one has to wait for another agency or Department to deal with the foreshore licence application. I am trying to see whether there is a way of speeding up and expediting an application for a foreshore licence? Does the OPW have any role in that?
