457 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding an application for a foreshore licence (details supplied) in County Cork; if the local authority is now permitted to proceed with the public advertisement phase if it so wishes; to give a timeframe for the issuance of a decision on the foreshore license once the planning process has been concluded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36194/10]

I refer to the reply to Question No. 164 of 16 June 2010. The position is unchanged. Cork County Council is awaiting the outcome of the planning application before proceeding further with the foreshore application.
