Ms Laura Brien:

MARA will only be responsible for enforcement of development consents in the offshore space. In the nearshore, which is out to 3 nautical miles, that will be local authorities. However, if, for example, a maritime area consent, MAC, has been awarded, we will be responsible for compliance with any conditions on the MAC. There may be a condition in the MAC, for example, in phase one, you had to apply for planning permission within a certain time. If not, we have the right to take back the MAC. We will do certain compliance activities around licences and MACs we have issued that cover everything. When it comes to development consent, local authorities will do the nearshore out to 3 nautical miles and we will be responsible for the area beyond that.
