​The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the development of public transport infrastructure and sustainable transport infrastructure (cycling and walking facilities) in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). The exception is those elements of the Dublin to Galway Greenway west of Maynooth, in respect of which Transport Infrastructure Ireland has overall responsibility for planning and design. With regard to the development of cycling infrastructure in the GDA, the NTA works closely with the relevant authorities and, in this instance, Waterways Ireland.

In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I am forwarding your question to the Authority for direct reply. If you have not received a response within 10 working days please contact my office.
