Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 February 2026
75. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Transport the expected delivery schedule for the Blacksod Bay Loop active travel scheme in County Mayo, including design, procurement and construction stages; whether additional capital support will be provided to expedite works under the 2026 Active Travel and Greenways investment programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11089/26]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. I note that the Blacksod Bay Loop Greenway scheme in County Mayo has received an allocation of €1,900,000 in 2026.
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.
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.
