Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if he will provide details as to the intentions of an application (details supplied) and the expected benefits to the State of this licence being granted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25684/16]
View answerAn application to carry out a bathymetry survey and localised site investigation work was received from the named company in March 2016. The principal objective of the proposed works is to identify a feasible and safe route for a cable system design, deployment, survivability and subsequent maintenance of a sub-sea fibre optic cable. The application is currently at consultation phase and will come before me for determination in due course. Accordingly, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this time.
