I refer the Deputy to my response on 13 November 2007 to Question No. 299.

An application was made to my Department by Mayo County Council on 30 May 2007 for a foreshore lease to facilitate construction of a slipway at Kilcummin, Co Mayo. The application was circulated to the Department's consultees for assessment and comment.

The Development Applications Unit of the Department of Environment Heritage and Local Government has requested that a full underwater archaeological assessment of the area be carried out. This request has been communicated to Mayo County Council. Responses are also awaited from the Department's Engineering Division and the Valuation Office.
