My Department wrote to Donegal County Council on 18 December 2014 to advise that, on the basis of legal advice furnished to the Department, it is not possible to include a covenant providing for sub-leasing in the proposed lease of an area of reclaimed foreshore at Burtonport Harbour between the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the County Council. In that correspondence, Donegal County Council was asked to inform my Department how it wishes to proceed in the matter. A response to that correspondence is awaited.
