Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 December 2019
523. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount allocated to a town (details supplied) in each of the years 2011 to 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50237/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraFunding of €6,937,165 was allocated by my Department to the Old Rail Trail from Mullingar to Athlone – this Greenway travels through Moate and has proven very beneficial to the town. This funding was drawn down in 2014 and 2015. Further investment in the Old Rail Trail and the Royal Canal Greenway has taken place and I am confident that when the Royal Canal Greenway is officially opened in 2020 that Moate will see a significant increase in the numbers visiting the town.
