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, in partnership with local authorities, have responsibility for the selection and development of specific projects in each local authority area. In addition, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) also develop some active travel infrastructure as part of national roads projects.
Noting the role of the NTA and TII in the matter, I have referred your question to those agencies for a more detailed answer.
It is also worth noting that some walking and cycling infrastructure is also developed through schemes which fall under the remit of other Departments, including, but not limited to, the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) under the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) under the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
