638. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason an action (details supplied) under the Action Plan for Rural Development was not delivered by the timeline committed to; the revised timeline by quarter and year for delivery of this action; if no revised timeline has been set to date, the reason therefor; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI launched the Strategy for the Future Development of National and Regional Greenways on July 20th with my colleague Minister of State Brendan Griffin T.D. It is regretted that the original timeline for the launch Strategy was not achieved but finalisation of the Strategy took longer than anticipated.
€53m is available from my Department for the funding of Greenways projects under the Strategy between 2019-2021. The application process for this funding call is currently open, and closes on 30th November 2018 and I plan to make allocations after assessment of the applications received.
The Strategy, application form and other relevant documents are available on my Department's website at the following link: www.dttas.ie/tourism/english/greenways.
