The Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Bill currently before the Oireachtas will transfer certain Foreshore functions, including the licensing of energy related developments on the foreshore, from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The transfer of these functions will align the onshore and offshore consent processes within a single Department and thereby contribute towards the modernisation of the process.
