  Mr. Browne: In the case of the application relating to Dunmore East, observations have been received from the Department’s expert advisers, and the applicant has been given sanction to proceed to the public notice stage of the process. This will give interested parties an opportunity to give their observations on the proposal to the Department.

Expert reports are awaited in respect of the Ardmore and Stradbally applications and I have instructed the Department to expedite consideration of the issues involved.
