My Department has received a number of new applications for sites in Killmackilloge harbour which are currently being processed in the normal way, including a period of public consultation. The consideration of these applications has not as yet reached the public consultation phase. In addition, once a decision is made this may be appealed by any member of the public to the Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board. The process, therefore, provides ample opportunity for any member of the public to voice concerns about such applications, both before and after the initial decision.
