View answerApplications submitted to my Department under the National Cycle Network Funding Programme 2014-2016, including those from Cavan, Leitrim and Sligo County Councils, were assessed by a team comprising representatives from my Department, Fáilte Ireland, the National Transport Authority and the National Trails Office. A total of 38 proposals were received from 28 authorities and the assessment phase is now complete. I am currently considering the recommendations of the team and I expect to be in a position to make an announcement in respect of successful projects very shortly.
