Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Aquaculture Licensing: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. John Quinlan:

Not if it is reduced, because the public consultation will be on the basis of the application as it is. The Minister would not seek to extend anything. It would be reducing a footprint, tonnage or something of that nature and there is no requirement in that case. For example, anybody who is going to object to X number of hectares is unlikely to object to something smaller. Certainly, if there a material change that would make the application bigger in some way, that would be the subject of a new application process which would definitely have to go to public consultation.
