Local Fianna Fáil Senator Erin McGreehan, has welcomed €4m in funding for Louth County Council to support the rollout of walking and cycling infrastructure in 2024.
This latest allocation means 2024 will be the year that the Government’s total investment for active travel infrastructure since 2020 will smash the €1bn mark. This investment has seen more than 600km of cycling, walking and wheeling infrastructure delivered since 2020 under the NTA Active Travel Programme.
Welcoming this funding, Senator McGreehan said, “I am thrilled to see such a substantial investment in active travel across Louth. This funding will make our communities safer and more accessible for walkers and cyclists, and I am confident that these projects will have a positive impact on the health and well-being of our residents.
“Fianna Fáil is dedicated to making active travel a practical option for people, and this funding is a significant step towards that goal and shows a strong commitment to promoting sustainable and active travel options across the county.”
