Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 November 2022
67. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on his Department's active travel spend, broken down by local authority for 2022, in tabular form; his plans to ensure fair distribution and management of this funding, including clear project timelines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55355/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for the policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. €289 million was allocated to the National Transport Authority (NTA) in 2022 to fund walking and cycling around the country. The NTA works with the local authorities to determine funding for specific projects and oversees their development.
Noting the NTA's role in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for an up-to-date, detailed reply . Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
