My Department has not received an application for funding for the section of the Boyneside trail from the Maiden Tower at Mornington to Drogheda.
However, an application for funding for the Drogheda Town section of the Boyneside Trail was recently approved for funding of €92,628 under the 2017 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme. Louth County Council has confirmed that this section of the trail is a separate project to the one referred to by the Deputy.
I intend to launch a further round of the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme in 2018 and details of the scheme will be made available to the Local Authorities when it is announced.
