Questions (205)

Jim Daly

Question:

205. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his plans to make funding available to roll out a dedicated stream of funds for community groups to apply for the construction of greenways, similar to the sports capital grant but solely dedicated to greenways, noting their importance, popularity and contribution to people's health and well-being; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18122/15]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

I would like to thank the Deputy for his question. Ministerial responsibility for all tourism policy, promotion and development matters,  including the development of greenways, resides with my colleague Paschal Donohoe T.D Minister for Transport Tourism and Sport. As I have no role or function in this matter, the Deputy may think it appropriate to table a question for my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.
