Regarding the €7 million mentioned, there is concern about the money that has already been given to local authorities for active travel in the context of those local authorities that have not spent it. A great deal of money has been returned to the Department, as he is aware. What is being done to bulk-up the number of staff to ensure local authorities have the correct resources to spend the money being allocated to them? It is unfair that this money is being allocated to them and they cannot spend it.

In situations where some local authorities do not spend money, I think I heard the Minister say the money will be spent by other local authorities-----
