Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 February 2022
86. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport the status of the plans for the Boyne Greenway; if a particular route has been identified as the preferred route; if he will detail when the public consultation stage for the greenway project will commence; and when it was originally due to commence. [10209/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and 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 is important too that a proposed Greenway has the support of the relevant Local Authority as funding is provided by TII to Local Authorities for this purpose. This matter is also subject to the Public Spending Code 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.
