Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on whether cycle lanes should be dedicated exclusively to cyclists on Sundays in view of the fact that cycle lanes have designated hours from Monday to Saturday across Dublin city; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 452 and 453 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport, including the designated hours for cycle lanes.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development and implementation of public transport and sustainable transport infrastructure in Ireland. Once the cycle lane has been completed, the maintenance of cycle lanes and the responsibility for designated cycle lane hours is a matter entirely for the Local Authority.
