Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 May 2026
407. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Transport the amount of funding allocated to Tipperary County Council under active travel schemes in each year from 2020 to date; the projects funded; the amount drawn down in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39924/26]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel infrastructure. The National Transport Authority (NTA) along with the relevant local authorities are responsible for the development and delivery of individual projects.
In general, the main focus of active travel investment will be to support high quality walking and cycling infrastructure, for everyday trips, in villages, towns and cities, particularly in designated growth settlements, with a view to promoting the greatest potential modal shift to active travel. As part of the allocations determination, the NTA liaises with each local authority to fully understand the projects being proposed by the local authority and its considerations in terms of priorities.
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.
