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 the 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. The archaeological assessment will require examination and approval by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Responses are also awaited from the Valuation Office and my Department's Engineering Division. As soon as the necessary information becomes available, every effort will be made to finalise the lease.
