As the Deputy is aware, my Department received an application for an Aquaculture Licence from the person referred to by the Deputy in June 2017.

There are a number of technical and scientific complexities associated with the application which are currently being examined by my Department in conjunction with the Marine Institute.

As the application is currently being assessed by my Department in accordance with the statutory process it would not be appropriate for me to comment further pending the conclusion of that process.
