Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Yesterday I announced funding of €4.5 million to 26 Greenway Projects. The funding was allocated under the Carbon Tax Fund 2020 and provides support for feasibility, planning and design for Greenways around the country. I am pleased to confirm that funding of €750,000 has been allocated to Meath County Council for the Boyne Greenway.
