Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Aquaculture Licensing: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. John Quinlan:

We can clarify it. I believe it is correct but I have other colleagues who are more familiar with it.

My understanding is that where the application ends up being for a smaller amount, in one way or another, the public consultation is not required but if there is any other change, most definitely public consultation is required and is insisted upon.
