182.

My department has no specific funding streams available for the EuroVelo1 - Atlantic Coast Route. However on a case-by-case basis Local Authorities have sought support for the installation of directional signs along the route. Mayo County Council have not sought nor received any EuroVelo1 Route specific fundingfrom my Department.
I am pleased to state that the entire route will be fully signposted very shortly and that Fáilte Ireland and Sport Ireland are working with my Department to develop a website that will promote and market the route later in the year when it is fully signed. As part of that work, funding requirements may emerge to support marketing and similar works and should that be the case then it will be examined.
