Mr. Andrew Ebrill:

The primary delivery authorities for the active travel infrastructure, the walking and cycling, on the ground will be the local authorities. We deal with them generally through the NTA because it is the overseeing authority.

Perhaps I will answer one of the queries you had earlier. You are right that a lot of money is being spent. There will be approximately €360 million this year between greenways and more traditional walking and cycling infrastructure. To put that in context, approximately 1,200 walking and cycling projects are being delivered across the country through that money. The NTA is working to an overall plan of approximately 1,000 km of new walking and cycling infrastructure being delivered between now and 2025. Most of the money that we have is for that infrastructural roll-out but we also have money for some behavioural programmes as well to encourage people to use the infrastructure.
