Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Transport (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: Like Deputy Hourigan, I take the safety and security of transport workers and passengers very seriously. It is an unfortunate truth that public transport is not immune to instances of antisocial behaviour and those who work within our public transport network are among those most directly impacted. To address this, the NTA, An Garda Síochána and the operators work closely to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I will give the Deputy a chance to contribute again. I am keeping Members to time so that we can get to more questions.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: I assure the Deputy that there is no intention whatsoever to disadvantage the northside of Cork city versus the southside. If there are particular projects on the southside or elsewhere that are being advanced faster, that is a matter for Cork City Council in conjunction with the NTA. There is no Government strategy to try to disadvantage one versus the other. I will make a general...

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister. I call Deputy Gould.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: I would love nothing more than to see the northside of Cork get a larger, fairer share, but it comes down to the council.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: We are over time, Minister.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Thomas Gould: Does the Minister not accept that receiving half the same funding for four years on the trot is not fair on the constituents I represent? I have spoken directly with the NTA where I have raised this issue repeatedly. I have also raised it with Cork City Council, and I understand it is the council’s job to bring these projects forward, but the people I represent do not see any...

Catherine Connolly: I am going to ask Members for their co-operation.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Deputy. We need greater investment in Cork – southside as well as northside – in terms of improved footpaths and an improved environment to make it safe for our children to walk or cycle to their local football clubs, boxing clubs or whatever it may be. Historically, there has been an underinvestment, although that has not been the case under this Government....

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Active Travel (21 Mar 2024)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (21 Mar 2024)

David Stanton: 71. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of extra funding support his Department has provided to Cork County Council for the repair of roads damaged by flooding in the wake of Storm Babet; his plans to provide further allocations in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13047/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (21 Mar 2024)

David Stanton: Five months ago, we experienced the consequences of climate change in a devastating way in east Cork with Storm Babet, which led to businesses, homes, roads and so on being devastated. I have two questions. First, how much extra funding has the Department provided to Cork County Council to date for the repair of roads damaged by the flooding? Second, what plans has the Minister to provide...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Work on these roads is funded from councils’ own resources and supplemented by State road grants. The Department emphasises to local authorities each year the importance of setting aside a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (21 Mar 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister for his response. Will he provide some figures for how much additional funding has been indicated to his Department? He spoke about a downward revision. How much is that? Did he say that the council had already received €13 million or €30 million? I am not clear on that, as I could not hear him properly. The Taoiseach told me in the Dáil...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (21 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: I went to Midleton the day after the storm. The floods were just receding. It was remarkable to see the work of the local authorities and various other State agencies managing the crippling impact on the town and surrounding areas, including Glanmire. We committed then, and I recommit here today, that whatever was needed to restore the roads and provide connectivity, safety and so on would...
