296. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Transport if he will give urgent consideration to the realisation of the Sutton to Sandycove coastal promenade and cycleway (S2S); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1848/25]

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.

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