My Department has not received an application for a foreshore licence in respect of works at Doolin Pier.

I also wish to advise the Deputy, that following the enactment of the Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Act 2009, responsibility for certain foreshore functions has been transferred to the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The functions retained by my Department include foreshore licensing relating to aquaculture developments and developments which relate wholly or primarily to the use, development, or support of sea fishing. All other foreshore licensing functions have been transferred to the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
