Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 October 2021
203. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport if he plans to provide funding as promised for the cycleway along the promenade in Galway given that approval for same has been given by Galway City Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48977/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public and sustainable transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development and implementation of public transport and active travel infrastructure, allocating the funding provided by my Department at project level and working to deliver these projects in conjunction with the relevant local authorities. This includes the project mentioned by the Deputy, namely the proposed cycleway in Salthill.
Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for a detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
