Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Transport the details regarding the percentage of funding issued to local authorities designated to footpath repairs, maintenance and accessibility improvements; if any guidance is issued to local authorities in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43537/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for the policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. The National Transport Authority (NTA), meanwhile, has responsibility for the allocation of funding to specific projects and oversight of their development, in cooperation with the relevant local authorities.
Noting the NTA's role in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply . Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
