137. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport for a detailed up-to-date progress report on the Tralee-to-Listowel greenway in County Kerry; if this hugely important project for north Kerry is on target; the projected completion date; if he is satisfied with progress to date; if he will expedite this “gamechanger" for the local economy and the entire region; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. In line with Section 32 (2) of the Roads Act 1993, the planning, design, and construction of individual Greenways is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Investment in Greenway projects is also subject to the requirements of the Infrastructure Guidelines and necessary statutory approvals.

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