In accordance with the requirements set out under the EU regulations, my Department receives and reviews new land imagery on a rolling basis. This process includes the review of imagery received in relation to land held in the entire country, including the Aran Islands. In each case, the imagery is reviewed and amendments are made to the land details should any ineligible features be identified.
Applicants are informed where such amendments are made and are given the option of seeking a review. All such reviews sought by applicants relating to lands held on the Aran Islands have now been completed.
