My Department is responsible for foreshore licensing in respect of structures/activities relating to fisheries and aquaculture and in respect of relevant structures/activities in designated Fishery Harbour Centres. The licensing of other structures/activities on the foreshore is a matter for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.

My Department’s Marine Engineering Division has been asked to examine the matter raised by the Deputy with a view to ascertaining the purpose of the works in question. As soon as that report is available, my Department will be in a position to advise the Deputy further and will contact the Deputy directly in that regard.
