I propose to take Questions Nos. 469 and 471 together.

My Department does not have any input into the content or views contained within submissions provided by the prescribed bodies as part of the foreshore consultation process and as such is not privy as to how such content was arrived at within the internal structures of these bodies.

Any question related to the content of the responses received from the prescribed bodies would therefore be a matter for the prescribed bodies themselves.

470. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the research and investigations undertaken which led to the observation submitted by Met Éireann in its role as a named external consultee, advising him as the consenting authority, on a foreshore lease planning application (details supplied) on Galway Bay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Met Éireann's observation network is operated according to World Meteorological Organisation guidelines which, inter alia, recommend minimum distances between developments and observing sites. Applying these criteria, there are no observing sites which might be affected by the proposed development and this is reflected in Met Éireann's response on the foreshore application concerned.
