Question:251 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Finance his views on whether the present bicycle mileage allowance is adequate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22431/03]
Written Answers. - Departmental Staff.
The purpose of the bicycle mileage allowance is to compensate staff for costs arising from the use of their own bicycles for official purposes. While the current rate of 6 cent per mile was set some time ago, officials in my Department are reviewing the methodology for determining the appropriate rates of payment.
