Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2022
189. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Transport if he has met with Irish Rail officials to discuss progress on the Broadmeadow Way Donabate to Malahide greenway project; if so, the number of times that he has done so since assuming office; if he will outline the matters discussed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56714/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for the policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is allocated to local authorities through the National Transport Authority (NTA) for projects supporting walking and cycling around the country, including the Donabate to Malahide Greenway. The NTA works with the local authorities to allocate funding for these specific projects and oversees their development and construction.
To date I have not held any meetings with Irish Rail officials in relation to this project. Noting the NTA's role in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for an up-to-date, detailed reply on the matter. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
