Ms Maria Graham:

We are looking at how all of the State's resources in the marine space are put to the best use. There will be the establishment of the maritime area regularity authority, MARA. The board will have planning functions. There are also bodies such as the Marine Institute out there with a lot of research and data. It is about how we use all of those resources together. It is very much a collaborative space, which is the direction of travel on this. As Mr. Ryan has said, that was the idea behind what we have at the moment with Marine.ie and the mapping layers we have. If you want a consent in an area, you should be able to go on and find out what has already been consented for dredging, offshore or protected areas. They will be delineated in time.
