Question 185: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food further to Parliamentary Question No. 355 of 13 May 2008, when he will make a determination on applications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23843/08]

As indicated in my response to Dáil Question No. 18292 of 13 May 2008, assessments of the applications referred to by the Deputy are near completion. It is not possible to give the Deputy a precise date for final determinations due to the nature of the assessment process. This process includes publication of the Ministerial decisions and allowing a one month period for appeal of any decision. Any such appeal must then be considered by the independent Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board.
