Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the section of the Royal Canal towpath between Castleknock and Porterstown was considered for inclusion in the recently announced €32.5 million funding for sustainable transport projects in the greater Dublin area, and if he will provide a timeframe for when this investment can be expected as part of the longer-term proposal to develop a greenway across Ireland, alongside the Royal Canal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 781 and 782 together.
Funding for delivery of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of cycle lanes in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) is a matter for the National Transport Authority.
The NTA can provide details of expenditure on cycling routes 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.
