Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community

10:55 am

Dr. Cecil Beamish:

The Deputy would probably need to discuss that matter with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, NPWS, which is determining what cross-Government remediation is required where environmental obligations are involved. In many cases, what we are discussing is the repair of what is already in existence, not an increase or change to the environmental impact as might be the case elsewhere. Most of this involves repairing walls, access points to piers, etc.
