Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Revised National Development Plan: Discussion
Ms Anne Graham:
That is a tough question to answer. All I can really talk about is the impediment. I am not sure that we have targets as such yet. The Deputy will know that we are undertaking a Safe Routes to School programme with some of our walking and cycling budget assigned to that. It is about identifying and providing those safe routes. That is done by putting in footpaths where there are no footpaths and safe cycling routes where there are no safe cycling facilities. The biggest impediment we see is ensuring that cycling and walking facilities are safe for all age groups, including children.
