As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to Greenways. There has been a significant amount of investment for Greenway schemes in County Wexford with €3,150,000 allocated in 2025, of which €2,500,000 has been allocated to the South East Greenway.

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 and National Roads Active Travel 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.
