187. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when a project (details supplied) will proceed to the next stage; if this proposed development will be prioritised in view of the cross-Border tourism potential; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14990/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, a specific reference to this Greenway is included in the Programme for Government and it is also referenced in New Decade, New Approach as an important cross-border project.
Leitrim County Council submitted an application to my Department for funding support under the Carbon Tax fund. That fund will support the planning and design of Greenway projects to assist them to be shovel-ready when construction funding is available. Applications for 40 projects were made and I hope to announce the outcome of this call in the very near future.
