As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and securing exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. The planning, design and construction of individual Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. It will be important that any proposed Greenway has the support of the relevant Local Authority as funding is only provided by TII to Local Authorities. All projects are also subject to the Public Spending Code Guidelines and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you on the status of this project.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
