The Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board (ALAB) is an independent body established by statute for the purpose of considering appeals of Ministerial decisions in respect of aquaculture licence applications.

The matters referred to by the Deputy are operational matters for ALAB and the Department has no function in that regard. The Deputy’s question will therefore be referred to ALAB for attention and response directly to the Deputy by ALAB.
