As indicated by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in his reply to the Questions referred to by the Deputy, my Department is working with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and the Marine Institute, in the programme of work enabling assessment of licensing applications for aquaculture in Natura sites. My Department received the data reports on Valentia Harbour on 24th January and will publish conservation objectives for Valentia and other sites as soon as possible.
