In the context of the maritime area consents that the Minister is likely to be asked to grant pre the establishment of MARA, will all that information be used in the process of determining whether those consents are appropriate? Likewise, if there are subsequent planning applications to the board, again, pre-designation, is that information likely to be accessible to the board and the wider public in determining whether those applications may or may not have implications for biodiversity loss?
