As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including cycling infrastructure.

The Deputy is aware that Dublin City Council is responsible for the proposed new cycling facilities along the Strand Road with funding to be provided by the NTA. The assessment criteria used for the trial are a matter for the Council in co-operation with the NTA.

Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matters raised, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply.  Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
