Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any plans for the provision of funding to (i) facilitate the upgrade of existing; and (ii) development of new greenways.

Answer:

Greenways have the potential to bring significant benefits to us all in terms of more physically active lifestyles, active travel, improved mental and physical health and wellbeing, social inclusion, tackling climate change, the strengthening of the local economy and tourism.

Over the coming weeks I want to carefully consider how provision of greenways can assist as part of my vision to enable greener infrastructure and greater sustainable transport that connects communities and improves lives.
