The Dublin Port Company will have to carry out a new full Environment Impact Statement (EIS) on its proposal to reclaim 21 hectares of the foreshore in the port.
The Department of the Marine and Natural Resources has sent a letter to Councillor Gerry Breen, chairman of Dublin Bay Watch, a group set up to fight the infill plan. It said the Minister, being concerned about the adequacy of the EIS prepared by the company, had commissioned independent consultants to address this issue.
