Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport
Mr. Andrew Ebrill:
Up to €15 million has been allocated this year for safe routes to school within the overall envelope of €360 million. All those that have applied are in the system and will be processed. Those schools will not have to reapply. We have focused on the first 170 purely due to practical considerations. Those are the pieces of infrastructure that can be rolled out most quickly. An Taisce, the NTA and the local authorities will move on. We now have an allocation of €360 million for capital that was provided in the budget.
