My Department does not appear to have received an Expression of Interest in respect of the project referred to by the Deputy.  However, my Department is still accepting Expressions of Interest under the scheme in question.  There is currently no closing date for receipt of Expressions of Interest.

Expressions of Interest must be made through Local Authorities and/or Local Development Companies in respect of trails that are suitable and eligible for inclusion in the scheme.  Further details of the process are available on my Department's pages of the Gov.ie website.

I can confirm that an Expression of Interest has been received by my Department in respect of the project referred to by the Deputy.

A review of the relevant scheme is currently in train and decisions in respect of Expressions of Interest under the scheme will be taken following the completion of the review.  It is anticipated that the review process will be concluded in the final quarter of this year.
