An application from Dún Laoghaire - Rathdown County Council for a consent under the Foreshore Act 1933 to undertake refurbishment works to Dún Laoghaire Baths is currently being assessed by my Department. The public and prescribed bodies consultations on the application, as required under the Foreshore Act, have been concluded.

The next stage of the process is for the Marine Licence Vetting Committee to review the application. I will make a determination on the application in due course based on the recommendations of the C ommittee and my Department and subject also to my Department agreeing recommended site specific conditions and financial considerations with the applicant.
