Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 March 2023
33. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport the cycle paths his Department has identified to cut carbon emissions and ease traffic congestion in Lucan, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9939/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is administered through the National Transport Authority (NTA), who, in partnership with local authorities, have responsibility for the selection and development of specific projects in each local authority area.
South Dublin County Council received an allocation of just over €22 million under the NTA's Active Travel Programme in 2023 for walking and cycling infrastructure. Noting the role of the NTA in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed answer in relation to specific projects in Lucan. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
