As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. The planning, design and construction of individual Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned, subject to the Public Spending Code and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to provide the information requested.

Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

Separately, Blueways come under the remit of Waterways Ireland. Noting this, I have also referred your question to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for a direct reply.
