What is the average time for dealing with a foreshore licence application in the Department, given this application was lodged originally with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in 2008?

The Minister mentioned recently in an RTE interview that he had a quasi judicial role in the foreshore licence application and stated, "The Poolbeg plant is entirely incompatible with my national waste policy". Is it compatible with Government policy? Does he think it is fair or appropriate that a Minister would exercise a quasi judicial function in a fair manner when he has stated publicly that if he approved the project, it would undermine Government policy?
