Written answers

I can confirm that I am aware of the media report referred to by the Deputy regarding the provision of cycle infrastructure along the Luas Finglas corridor.

I am seeking information from both Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Transport Authority (NTA) regarding the matter in question and intend to discuss the issue with both parties.

As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. The NTA has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including cycling and walking infrastructure in conjunction with the relevant local authorities. I can assure the Deputy that both I and the NTA are committed to the provision of high quality continuous north-south cycle infrastructure along the Luas Finglas corridor.
