Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 72 to 74, inclusive, together.
As 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 have responsibility for allocating this funding to the local authorities for development of selected projects in each area.
Noting the role of the NTA in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to that agency for a more detailed answer in relation to allocations to and spend by local authorities in 2022 and so far in 2023. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
