As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is administered through the National Transport Authority (NTA), who, in partnership with local authorities, have responsibility for the selection and development of specific projects in each local authority area.

Tipperary County Council received an allocation of just over €4.6 million under the NTA's Active Travel Programme in 2023 for walking and cycling projects. I was delighted to announce the 2024 Active Travel allocations earlier this month with Tipperary County Council being allocated just under €4 million.

Noting the role of the NTA in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed breakdown of specific funding for cycling facilities. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
