612. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide funding to carry out maintenance and basic repair work on sections of the Daingean Uí Chúis Way between Tralee and Camp, as many parts are in very poor condition; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45907/15]

My Department recently invited expressions of interest from a variety of organisations, agencies and groups who would wish to seek funding for the development, enhancement and maintenance of recreational Infrastructure projects should funding become available to the Department. A number of expressions of interest were received for proposed works along the Dingle Way.

This initiative has generated a considerable amount of interest and my Department is currently carrying out a detailed assessment of each expression of interest received with a view to funding some of these projects in 2016.
