Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 March 2023
125. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Transport if the active travel scheme has been collectively assessed under the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021 to determine if the scheme complies with the Act, bearing in mind that it includes plans to build out 1,500 km of footpaths and cycleways; if he will publicise the results of the assessment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15973/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall funding and policy decisions 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.
Noting the NTA's role in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
