Meath Co Council were awarded funding of €1,971,000 in July, 2016 to construct a greenway along the section of the Royal Canal within Meath.

Details of the regional and local road grant allocations and payments to Louth County Council and Meath County Council are outlined in the regional and local road grant allocation and payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library.  Details of the 2017 regional and local road grant allocations are also available in the Dáil library.

With regard to national roads, details of the allocations to Louth County Council and Meath County Council are available in the Dáil library.  However, details of the actual drawdown of funding for these roads are a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. 

In relation to the Sports Capital Programme, details of all allocations and payments on a county basis are available on my Department's website at www.dttas.ie.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the administration of the Sustainable Transport Measures Grants (STMG) Programme.This rolling programme of measures facilitates investment in various QBCs, cycling/walking, safety and traffic management projects throughout the seven local authority areas in the Greater Dublin Area, including Meath County Council.

Noting the NTA's responsibility for the STMG Programme, I have referred your question to the Authority for a more detailed reply in relation to the projects funded under the Programme for the period in question.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
