Under the provisions of Section 13A(1) of the Foreshore Act 1933 a request for supplementary information issued to Irish Water on 18 December 2014. My Department expects the supplementary information to be submitted shortly. Depending on the specific additional information provided, the consultation period of this application may need to be extended. Following completion of the consultation phase, the Marine Licence Vetting Committee (MLVC) who advise on foreshore consent applications will then finalise its report and recommendations prior to the application being submitted for my determination.
I wish to assure the Deputy that my Department is treating this application as a priority case.
