Brendan Griffin

Question:

681. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will consult with Iarnród Éireann to see if there are existing railway line corridors in use that have enough space at the sides to safely facilitate the provision of greenways; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2557/14]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The issue of the use of railway line corridors as greenways is a matter for Iarnród Éireann, in consultation with the relevant local authority or interest group. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
