Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2026
398. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Transport if he will give urgent attention to the serious concerns regarding the NCN pilot scheme on the R448, raised in correspondence (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12250/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to the National Cycle Network (NCN), while Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) manage the delivery of NCN projects. The NCN Plan, published in 2024, identifies various infrastructure types which are suitable for use on the cycle network. There is a clear emphasis on physical segregation between cyclists and vehicular traffic on busier roads and shared space between cyclists and vehicular traffic on low trafficked roads (so called quiet roads).
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.
