2009 Works at Glengad
A number of local residents have suggested that the temporary ancillary works required for the construction of the offshore pipeline require planning permission. Accordingly, the Minister thought it would be helpful to ask Mayo County Council, in its capacity as the planning authority, to clarify the position. Mayo County Council wrote to the Department on 23 April 2009 expressing its view that the ancillary works are exempted development as defined within the planning regulations.
