Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand foreshore legislation is due in the course of this year. I referred earlier to this matter when Deputy Barrett raised a related matter regarding a draft Bill relating to offshore development of renewable energy. The foreshore Bill to which the Deputy refers is separate and is due in the course of the year. I am not aware of the second proposed Bill to which he refers. I will ask the Minister to communicate with him on whether it is necessary to rectify an issue.
