Following a review of aquaculture licences in Dungarvan the Department identified a number of licensed areas which were poorly maintained. The relevant licence holders, including the person to whom the Deputy refers, were advised in writing that their licence could not be renewed unless they undertook remedial action in respect of the maintenance and tidiness of their sites.

The Department intends to carry out a follow up inspection of these sites and if they are found to be in a satisfactory condition, the question of licence renewal will be given speedy consideration.
