Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 December 2021
38. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Transport if his Department is considering plans for an east Mayo greenway passing through towns and villages in the eastern part of the county (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [62360/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. The planning, design and construction of individual Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned, it will be vital that any proposed Greenway have the support of the relevant Local Authority as funding is only provided by TII to Local Authorities. This is also subject to the Public Spending Code and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you on the status of this project.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
