Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Harnessing Ireland's Ocean Wealth: Marine Co-ordination Group
Dr. Cecil Beamish:
It is working with the sector all the time. There is a development programme and there is research. BIM is working with the industry in terms of the development of the environmental impact statements and whatever else was required. Most of the licences we are talking about are licences which are in renewal, where the people are continuing to operate, so there are very few new licences and only perhaps one or two new licence applications on hand.
