Maritime Area Consent (MAC)

A MAC is the right to occupy a part of the maritime area, conditional on securing other necessary approvals.  MARA is responsible for the fit and proper assessment of the applicant and the proposed project. A MAC is the gateway into the planning system as a MAC is required before any planning applications can be made to An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) or the coastal local authorities in respect of the maritime area.

Maritime Usage Licence (MUL)

MARA is responsible for authorising specified maritime usages as set out in Schedule 7 of the MAP Act. MARA cannot issue a MUL for which an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required.  Where an EIA is required, a MAC must be applied for.
