I propose to take Questions Nos. 2421 to 2425, inclusive, together.

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department, and the National Transport Authority (NTA), are supporting Healthy Ireland as it looks to develop a promotional campaign relating to the health benefits associated with making active travel part of a person’s daily commute.

The exact detail of any proposed campaign remains under consideration.
