Today I announced funding of €4.5 million to 26 Greenway Projects. The funding was allocated under the Carbon Tax Fund 2020 and provides support for feasibility, planning and design for Greenways around the country. I am pleased to confirm that funding of €175,000 has been allocated to Cavan County Council for two sections of the Cavan Railway Greenway, from Cavan to Drumully and from Cloverhill to Belturbet. In addition funding of €500,000 has been allocated to Leitrim County Council to progress the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Greenway from Collooney to Blacklion. My Department has not received an application for funding for a Greenway from Dromod
