I launched the Strategy for the Future Development of National and Regional Greenways last July and there is currently an open funding call for Greenways projects which closes on 30th November 2018. Applications must be made by the appropriate Local Authority or State Agency.

€53m in funding has been allocated under the NDP for Greenways for 2019 to 2021. Following an assessment of the applications received, I plan to award funding to the successful projects. The Strategy, the application form and other relevant documents can be found on the Department's website at the following link: .

The current status regarding planning and land ownership is a matter for the local authorities concerned.
