How to lodge your objections

Deadline for applications

Where to send objections

You can send your objections by Registered Post or by Email.

By Email: Aquaculturelicensing@agriculture.gov.ie 

By Registered Post:

Aquaculture Licensing Section
Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
National Seafood Centre
Clonakilty, Co. Cork

 

5 steps to structure your objections

1. Add the application reference number (should look something like T6/4**, see list below)

2. Add your name, address, and contact info

3. Address it to the aquaculture review officers: Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine

4. Add the grounds to your objection, in your own words. Here are some grounds you can use for why you object:

    • Personal grounds: How will this intensive aquaculture development impact you? (house prices, your use of the recreational facilities of the area like the beach, watersports, health walks)
    • Environmental grounds: this area is a Special Area of Conservation, a RAMSAR site, and a Special Protection Area for wildlife and flora.
    • Economic grounds: Do you work in tourism? Will your livelihood be affected if tourists are no longer coming to Glenbeigh/Dooks because the visual beauty of the area has been ruined?
    • Legislative grounds: Have you spotted a fault with the application? Do you object to the Department pushing through applications without an Environmental Impact Assessment?

5. Send your application no later than July 2, 2018!
