192. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he is aware of the stalled roll out of the bike bunkers scheme by Dublin City Council, that a review of the scheme is now being undertaken despite commitments over the past 18 months to expand the scheme by tendering for 350 bike bunkers citywide; his views on whether the stalled nature of this scheme is in keeping with the Government's Local Authority Climate Action policies; if he will contact the Chief Executive of Dublin City Council in order to ensure the expansion of the scheme is delivered so that Dubliners in areas such as Stoneybatter, the Liberties and the North Strand can benefit from an initiative that has proven popular, and where demand is high; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel and public transport infrastructure. The National Transport Authority (NTA) works directly with local authorities on various walking and cycling infrastructure projects in relation to their selection, funding and delivery.

Noting the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question on the proposed bike bunkers scheme to that agency for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
