Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 December 2025
189. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Transport whether the National Transport Authority was aware of the Local Area Plan non-compliance in a local authority (details supplied) before releasing Active Travel funding; the checks the authority carried out once this information was provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [68546/25]
View answerAs 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 allocation of funding to and the development of specific projects in each local authority area.
Noting the role of the NTA in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed answer. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
