600. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the agency responsible for the fencing along greenways; if this is carried out in consultation with landowners; if the process is conducted on a county by county basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50943/18]

Fencing along Greenways is a matter for the relevant Local Authority/State Agency that constructed it. Where required, fences would be installed by these Local Authorities and State Agencies. As outlined in the Strategy for the Future Development of National and Regional Greenways, early consultation with landowners on all aspects of Greenway construction is actively encouraged. I understand that on the Waterford Greenway, for example, different types of fencing are used in different areas depending on the needs of the adjoining landowner.
