Question 264: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if the local authority sought permission for its proposal to locate a new slipway in County Mayo; if there was an existing slipway at that location; if the local authority requires a foreshore licence for this work; if the proposed development is in keeping with the area; and if public consultation is necessary for the proposal.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 257 and 264 together.

The Department has not received an application from Mayo County Council for authorisation under the foreshore Acts for the development of a new slipway at the location in question, and understands from inquiries it has made of the county council that it has no proposals for such a development. I understand the county council is undertaking certain works of maintenance and repair to an existing slipway at the location concerned.
