An application for a foreshore lease was received from Maulbawn Ltd in January 2009 to carry out reclamation works for the installation of a 261 berth marina, plus three foul/surface drainage pipes at Passage West, Cork Harbour. This was circulated to my Department's consultees in the normal manner. Further information was requested by the Marine Survey Office of the Department of Transport and by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. These requests for further information were communicated to the applicant and responses are awaited. The applicant has also claimed ownership of some of the area in which the proposed development will be carried out. My Department has requested proof of title from the company and this is awaited. In addition the planning permission granted by Cork County Council has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála and my Department is awaiting its decision.
