The development of pedestrian facilities within the Greater Dublin Area is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with the relevant local authority, in this case Dublin City Council. Accordingly, I have forwarded your request to the NTA and have asked them to reply to you directly. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
