Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2024
133. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Transport for an update on the comprehensive urban cycling and walking network for metropolitan areas, including 200km of cycle lanes under BusConnects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18455/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel and Public Transport. 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, including the development of Active Travel networks as well as BusConnects and its associated 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. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
