The Project Ireland 2040 Capital Tracker published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform provides details of infrastructure projects, indicative allocations, current status, project commencement dates and proposed completion dates. It is available at the following link:
www.gov.ie/en/publication/6db7c4-investment-projects-and-programmes-tracker/.
The
individual projects and programmes are subject to compliance with the Public Spending Code, including its requirements in relation to appraisal and Sanctioning Authority approval points.
In addition to the cycling and walking programme identified in the Tracker, there are other expenditure programmes which will assist with the better development and provision of cycling and walking infrastructure across the State. The BusConnects programme in Dublin which will inter alia deliver around 200 kilometres of segregated cycling lanes where possible, TII anticipates that it will deliver 64 km of segregated cycle tracks as part of its roads programmes between 2020 and 2024, the Greenways programme will support the development of new Greenways in more rural areas and the Sustainable Urban Transport programme which includes smarter travel projects to allow transport infrastructure to function more effectively and will help relieve traffic congestion. In addition walking and cycling benefit from investment delivered under wider Government programmes such as the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund, the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, the Cycle to Work scheme and the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.
I understand that the Department of An Taoiseach is arranging for the publication of material provided by Government Departments in accordance with agreed procedures, via the Department of An Taoiseach, to Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party, as part of Government formation negotiations. I believe that this will provide the documents and information the Deputy is seeking.
