Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2025
800. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when an application for an EIA screening decision will be approved (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [72205/25]
View answerMy Department received an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening application, which was submitted by an advisor on behalf of the applicants named in this Parliamentary Question. On examination my Department concluded that the application did not fall under the remit of EIA (Agriculture) Screening.
The permission/consent that the applicants are seeking is an Activity Requiring Consent (ARC) in respect of designated land and which is administered by the National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) section of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The applicant's advisor and the NPWS were informed of this decision.
