Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2025
204. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport the number of landowners impacted by the South Kerry greenway project, and the amount that has been paid to these landowners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [65413/25]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. I note that there has been significant investment in Greenway schemes in County Kerry, with €8,250,000 allocated in 2025 alone.
Under the Roads Act 1993, the planning, design, and construction of individual Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. The Code of Best Practice for National and Regional Greenways outlines the compensation arrangement in place for landowners in relation to the acquisition of land for use within a greenway route, this document is maintained by TII.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question, on this occasion, to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
