Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
269. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Transport to provide on a local authority basis, in tabular form, since the formation of this Government, the total amount of funding allocated for the development of new walking and cycling infrastructure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37109/23]
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. In addition, my Department oversees the National Greenway Programme, which, as of 20 September 2021, administered by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in conjunction with the relevant local authorities.
The table below outlines the funds allocated to Greenways, including cross border Greenways, provided directly from the Department of Transport and through TII from September 2021.

Noting the role of the NTA in the administration of the Active Travel Programme, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed response. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
