Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion
Mr. Peter Walsh:
I should point out with regard to greenways that there is very good funding from the Government for greenways this year. Previously, we have been pointing to the constraints that funding has created with regard to some road projects, but there is very good funding for greenways and we will make whatever progress we can make. Greenways are different from road projects, and the support of local representatives and of the community will make a very significant difference in terms of the level of progress that can be made with those. It is a different type of development.
I have looked up the allocation for Blake's Corner. There is €2 million for that this year. The only thing that might impede the progression of it is the speed at which the planning approval is achieved.
