Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The National Transport Authority, NTA, is the body that is responsible for the delivery of cycling infrastructure in the greater Dublin area in co-operation with the relevant local authorities. I have consulted with the NTA on the Deputy's question. Perhaps she might be able to clarify this for me in the supplementary. I will then revert with the information. The NTA informed me that no approach has been made to it by a project referred to as the Naas neighbourhood greenway project. If the Deputy lets me know whether the project has a different name, I will find out whether such contact has occurred. I am not in a position to comment on the exact nature of the project. However, the NTA's current understanding is that while the project is being described as a greenway, it may be more of a local cycle network within the town which might include elements of what we would describe as a "greenway" along the canal. I have requested the NTA to give me more information about this project but if the Deputy could tell me more about the contact she believes to be happening, the NTA will get back to her with a specific update on that project within ten working days.
