Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion

2:40 pm

Mr. Damien Melvin:

On the question, as I said in my opening statement, our licence expired last March. We submitted a renewal application in June. It took seven months to get a response from the foreshore unit. At that stage they told us there was insufficient information, even though it was what they requested. We supplied extra information and we still have not hard anything. We have been told that engineers, experts and specialists are looking at it but we still do not know the stage of the application.
