Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Cycling Policy: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:

In terms of the projects funded through the Department's grants, they can be for specific cycle paths and for joint cycle ways and pathways, which are shared pathways. There can be schemes addressing junctions to improve pedestrian facilities as well as the cycle facilities. It is very hard to strip out what funding is for cycling alone. That is why we also refer to active travel, which is walking and cycling, and our funds go through to all types of projects.
