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 in relation to the proposed bike bunkers scheme to that agency for a more detailed reply . Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
