Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 May 2026
187. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Transport further to numerous previous requests, to ensure that Glenbeigh village is made ‘greenway ready’ in terms of pedestrian crossings, surface dressing, new footpaths and lighting (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38569/26]
View answerI would like to thank the Deputy for his continued interest in Greenway infrastructure in Kerry. As previously stated, as the 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 €9,950,000 allocated in 2026, of which €9,200,000 has been allocated to the South Kerry Greenway.
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.
