Mr. Garret Doocey:

I do not have the figures the Deputy happens to have in front of her but my information is, in terms of 2024, there was approximately €87 million allocated to the greenways. The outturn spend was approximately €70 million and then we carried €14.5 million into 2025.

The greenways programme, as a whole, is a programme. There are several projects in it - up to about 70 from memory - and we tend to manage things in land transport, be it on the greenways, the active travel in the urban centres, public transport or the roads programme, on a programme basis rather than individual projects at the departmental level.

Money tends to move between. If there is underspend in one element of the programme, such as the greenways - albeit some was carried over this year - we would move across that active travel.
