Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Brendan Griffin: I welcome the comments of the Minister on greenways. I have felt very strongly about the issue for a long time. We are trying to get a number of projects over the line in Kerry. When the Government is finished in Louth, the Minister is welcome to come to south Kerry when, it is to be hoped, the south Kerry greenway will be up and running Would the Department consider a programme for...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Brendan Griffin: No, they would be shared. Obviously, engineering works would be required for shared roads if one is trying to promote them as cycle routes, such as ensuring ditches are lowered for increased visibility. These are really quiet roads that might be travelled by one tractor and two cars in a day. Obviously, one would have to market them responsibly as priority cycle routes. One could not let...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Brendan Griffin: Is co-funding something that might be considered? There is a demand for this as I regularly encounter farmers who want to take cattle off the road, in everybody's interest. It is in their interest too, in terms of the labour intensity of being obliged to have two or three people out on the road rather than just one farmer bringing the cows in at mornings or evenings. This would mainly be...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Brendan Griffin: I thank the Minister. First, I must congratulate the Irish soccer teams on the fantastic job they did in France. Both teams, and their supporters from the Republic and Northern Ireland did their countries proud. I was at the Euros in Poland four years ago, but I did not have the chance to go this time and I missed it. We can all be proud of the great ambassadorial job our supporters in...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Brendan Griffin: The staff in Killarney, in particular, are fantastic. They get a lot of complaints and because of the nature of the programme they get swamped at particular times. While they are constituents of mine they are fantastic staff and have a heavy administrative burden. It is about striking a balance between making the system user friendly and dragging the administrative process on and on. We...
