€25 million is being allocated to fund sustainable transport projects in Dublin, it has been announced.

Labour TD Sean Kenny welcomed the news and said the projects would be of great benefit to bus users, cyclists and pedestrians.

He said: "All of this will help to reduce the congestion that is a frequent occurrence and will, I hope, make things a bit easier for those who are not using cars to get around.

"I am especially pleased that the Dollymount to Sutton pedestrian and cycle route will see work on the 'missing link' element of this route, from the Wooden Bridge in Clontarf to Causeway Road at Dollymount, finally underway. This is very long overdue now and I had expected things to be underway on this already.

"I am very happy to see also that funding has been allocated to deal with the very challenging bottleneck at the Cat and Cage pub on the Swords Road Quality Bus Corridor, a bottleneck that really causes severe disruption to people living on the Northside of Dublin."
