I acknowledged receipt of a letter from the Northern Committee of Cork County Council to the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications on 20th December 2020 regarding the Council’s intention to apply for funding for the proposed Greenway from Mallow to Dungarvan.

In my reply I pointed out that funding had already been granted to this project to facilitate a feasibility study, in conjunction with Waterford City & County Council, in July 2020 and we must wait for the results of that study before considering any future funding applications in line with the Public Spending Code.

I expect to announce a new funding round later this year and depending on progress on the feasibility study this project may then be in a position to apply for further funding.
