61. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport the amount of funding that has been provided for cycling facilities in Dublin city in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [58273/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is administered through the National Transport Authority (NTA), who, in partnership with local authorities, have responsibility for the selection and development of specific projects in each local authority area.
Dublin City Council received an allocation of €52.8 million under the NTA's Active Travel Programme in 2022 for walking and cycling projects. Noting the role of the NTA in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed answer in relation to specific funding for cycling facilities. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
