37. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport the number of greenways currently in operation; the number of planned greenway developments up until 2030; and the amount of funding allocated to the development of existing greenways and the development of prospective greenways. [60162/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. The planning, design and construction of rural Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development of urban Greenways, allocating the funding provided by my Department at project level and working in conjunction with the relevant local authorities.
Noting TII and the NTA’s roles in this matter, I have your referred your correspondence to them for a more detailed reply.
