Martin Ferris raises the Greenway in the Dáil

Martin Ferris TD asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross of the status of the proposed Tralee to Fenit greenway and when funding will be provided to complete the project.

In reply Minister Ross indicated that the government is commited to making additional funding available for greenways into the future,

Minister Ross’s mixed messages on funding.

The lack of progress on the Tralee to Fenit Greenway was raised in the Dail by John Brassil with a parliamentary question to Shane Ross regarding funding for the stalled Tralee to Fenit Greenway.

Minister Ross’s response was disappointing in that he stated that there would be no funding calls for Greenway in the immediate future.

Kerry Cycling Campaign were quick to point out that just a week later Minister Ross contradicted this information saying that Greenway funding would be announced later in the year.

We await clarification but hopefully the later is the case.
