Public Accounts Committee

2022 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

9:30 am

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

The commitment, which we will meet, is that new applicants who do not need an appropriate assessment for environmental purposes will get a licence within six months. If an appropriate assessment is required, it will take nine months. There is no way to abbreviate those processes because, for example, before we start, we must do two 30-day public consultations.
