As the Deputy will be aware, a specific reference to this Greenway is included in the Programme for Government and it is also referenced in New Decade, New Approach as an important cross-border project.
Leitrim County Council submitted an application to my Department for funding support under the Carbon Tax fund. That fund will support the planning and design of Greenway projects to assist them to be shovel-ready when construction funding is available. Applications for 40 projects were made and I hope to announce the outcome of this call in the very near future.
