My Department considers all applications for foreshore licences in accordance with the provisions of the Foreshore Act 1933 (as amended) and applicable national and EU legislation. The licensing process involves consultation with scientific and technical advisers and Statutory Consultees. The legislation also provides for a period of public consultation.

In accordance with the applicable legislation, the Statutory and Public Consultation phases are currently ongoing in respect of the application referred to by the Deputy. The closing date for receipt of submissions is 9 March 2024. As this application is under active consideration process, it would not be appropriate to comment further on the matter at this time.
