Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Aquaculture Licensing Process: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
3:30 pm
Dr. Cecil Beamish:
It is driven by the aquaculture. The person is asking for the piece of property to carry out the aquaculture activity. There is no point in pre-granting that piece of foreshore if a decision has not been made on the aquaculture. They are separate files because they are separate legal entities. However, the Minister makes a decision, in an individual case, on both the applications for an aquaculture licence and a foreshore licence simultaneously.
