David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am asking about the progress that has been made with an aquaculture licence application in respect of Ballycotton Bay in east Cork. I understand the Marine Institute, Bord Iascaigh Mhara and the National Parks and Wildlife Service have been considering a multi-annual work programme for quite some time and that it is basically complete. Can the Minister tell us the current position? When does he expect to be in a position to make a decision on the application in question?
