My Department is continuing to engage with the Chief State Solicitor’s Office concerning matters in relation to the foreshore lease application concerned. There is a challenge by a Third Party to the State’s ownership of the foreshore and this challenge relates to an area of foreshore that forms part of the application. I will only be in a position to make a determination on the application following resolution of the ownership issues.
