The Programme for Government provides that the Government will set aside €100 million in additional capital funding to take the Wild Atlantic Way to the next level, including an Atlantic Blueway route, and the Ireland Way, to invest further in developing a nationwide Greenway network, to double the funding available for the Rural Walks Scheme from €2 million to €4 million, and to increase the number of walks covered from 40 to 80. The commitment in the Programme for Government covers a number of funding programmes and Departments.  Consideration of how best to allocate funding for these areas will form part of the mid-term review of the Capital Investment Plan that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will be commencing in early 2017.
