Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
254. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Transport the engagement that he and his Department have had with Longford County Council regarding the funding shortfall for the Royal Canal spur in County Longford. [40880/22]
View answerI am not aware of any request to my Department for additional funding for this project. As 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. 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.
