The National Transport Authority (NTA) has launched a public consultation on the CycleConnects Plan, which aims to improve sustainable travel by expanding Ireland’s cycling network.

The public consultation runs from 27 September until 25 October

This plan will create safe, accessible, and convenient cycling routes, connecting more people to more places. The plan includes proposals for cycling links in key cities and towns across counties, as well as connections between towns, villages, and settlements. It also features cycle routes such as greenways, promoting environmentally friendly travel.

SEA Enviromental Report and Natura Impact Statement

As part of this process, the NTA has prepared an associated Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report and an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Natura Impact Statement. These reports assess the potential environmental impacts of the plan and ensure the protection of natural habitats and wildlife.
