301. Deputy James Geoghegan asked the Minister for Transport the amount drawn down to date in 2026 in respect of Active Travel Investment Grant scheme DCC/17/0008 Fitzwilliam Street (details supplied); whether the National Transport Authority expects the full 2026 allocation to be drawn down within the year; what becomes of any unspent allocation; the total amount advanced to Dublin City Council in respect of this scheme in each year since 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60234/26]

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.
