Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2013
741. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will outline his plans to announce further funding for projects to improve road, bus cycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the greater Dublin area under the sustainable transport measures programme, similar to his announcement of 18 April 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFollowing the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2009, funding for delivery of public transport infrastructure, including funding for projects to improve road, bus, cycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) is a matter for the NTA. Under its Sustainable Transport Management Grants (STMG) the NTA also provides funding to local authorities for a range of schemes to benefit cyclists including cycle paths and cycle corridors.
I have forwarded your request to the NTA for details of future funding proposals in the GDA and I have asked them to forward the information to you directly. If you have not received a response within 7 days please contact me again.
