An investment of €1.15m for the delivery of active travel infrastructure has been allocated to Limerick City and County Council through Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).

This investment in Limerick projects forms part of a broader national effort with a total of €67 million allocated for Greenways and National Roads across Ireland in 2025. 

The Roads Department at Limerick City and County Council will spearhead this investment, building on the successful work of the Tourism Development team, who previously developed the 40km Limerick Greenway.

Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, welcomed the funding. He said: "This funding is a crucial step towards enhancing our infrastructure and promoting sustainable travel options. It aligns perfectly with our vision for a greener, more active, more connected Limerick."

Hugh McGrath, Senior Engineer, Travel and Transport Strategy at Limerick City and County Council, added: "The allocation of €1.15m is a welcome announcement and will continue to support the development of Greenway schemes in the region. The allocated funding will allow further advancement of both the UL to Montpelier and Rathkeale to Limerick Greenways."

This initiative will further position Limerick as a premier destination for both business and tourism, while contributing to the national goal of promoting sustainable travel, reducing carbon emissions, and boosting local economies.
