Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion

Mr. Peter Walsh:

I would certainly like to think that we can because apart from anything else we are facing a climate crisis where we need to reduce our carbon emissions and bituminous materials are very carbon hungry. We are definitely open to suggestions. One of the earliest engagements we had with greenways was through Fáilte Ireland which conducted market research which identified tourists as the most likely customers. They like to have surfaces that do not leave their bicycles caked with grit at the end of a cycle.
