€480k has been allocated to Roscrea's new footpath and walking scheme
Roscrea will benefit from almost half-a-million euro investment in the town's new footpath and cycleway scheme.
The funding comes as part of a €4.6-million package for active travel projects across county Tipperary.
Fianna Fail TD Jackie Cahill confirmed the €4.633-million will be used for a variety of projects aimed at improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in the county.
Deputy Cahill said: "I am thrilled to see such a substantial investment in active travel in Tipperary.
“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".
The headline project within the funding is €500,000 for the Cahir Road Active Travel Scheme in Cashel.
Other key projects include investment of €480,000 for the Roscrea Footpath and Cycleway Scheme, €180,000 for Schools and Third Level Linkage in Thurles town and €150,000 for Bowes Corner in Thurles.
The funding will also support school-based initiatives such as Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs.
"This investment shows a strong commitment to promoting sustainable and active travel options in Tipperary, and I eagerly anticipate the results of these projects in the coming months and years,” Deputy Cahill added.
“Fianna Fail is dedicated to making active travel a practical option for people, and this funding is a significant step towards that goal”, Deputy Cahill said.
