How/why is it that Northern Ireland and Ulster in general seem to be doing far better than in the rest of the country for cycle paths?

Different government, different priorities
Less of it?
I wonder if there’s a big difference in planning, I was wondering this based on the fact that last time I passed through the north I noticed wind farms all over the place and near enough built up areas in some cases.
Brits can do planning. Irish can’t, seemingly for some reason
Psychopaths?
Take a guess
I’ve just done some googling and the map is completely bogus. The Northern Ireland part of map is full of *planned* Greenways example here

Some of Ireland’s also appear to be not yet open, though certainly under construction like Waterford to New Ross.
You can argue its not British all you want but physopaths don’t lie
Because they’re a different country? Northern Ireland is a separate country and two thirds of the counties in Ulster are in NI.
That like looking at this map and asking why Sweden and Spain don’t have the same density of bike paths.
This was asked before and the answer was they give a regular road a name too make it also a designated cycling route. It’s an administrative difference.
It’s because we have no trains..the old railways are the greenways.
Would happily swap the new Derry/ Donegal greenway for a train line or even a motorway
Undersized roads in general.
