The Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board (ALAB) is the independent statutory body established for the purpose of determining appeals against aquaculture licensing decisions. In accordance with standard practice, my Department has been notified by ALAB that it has received appeals against the decision to grant the aquaculture licence referred to by the Deputy for the cultivation of oysters at a site on Braade Strand, Co. Donegal.

As ALAB is currently considering the appeals referred to by the Deputy as part of the statutory process, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the matter pending the conclusion of that process.
