Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 June 2021
42. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport the status of the progress of the cycleway and pedestrian way at a location (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32404/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand from Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) that the N71 Glasslinn Pavement Strengthening Scheme is at Tender stage. As part of the scheme, they are widening the existing footpath from 1.8m to 3m from the Kevin O’Leary Roundabout towards the Clare O'Leary Walk, for 950m.
The Clare O’Leary Walk (old railway line) is a further 800m away further along the N71. Cork County Council are pursuing the completion of the scheme (800m) separately.
I understand that this project is proposed to be a pedestrian facility and as my Department does not have a role in rural walkway schemes, I am not in a position to answer this aspect.
