Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Active Travel and Greenways: Discussion

2:00 am

Perfect. Okay, I am clear on that. On a more general point, how does TII select what projects to pursue? There are many examples in my own area of Mayo - I know this is county-wide - where there are community groups that are leading and engaging with landowners and have a route identified that has full community support and is being led by them. It seems that in other projects, TII pursues routes that cause a lot of consternation within communities. I am not saying that is intentional but it is obviously reality. Today is an example of it. How is the decision on what to pursue and what not to pursue made when there are many projects around the country that can be delivered with full community support?
