The Deputy may now be aware, subsequent to my announcement yesterday, that a further €2m has been awarded to Galway County Council for the development of a greenway from Galway City to Moycullen.  This is in addition to over €4.3 million already awarded to Kerry and Waterford County Councils under the National Cycle Network Funding Programme 2014 to 2016.
