Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív)

My Department has not adopted a Workplace Travel Plan. However, my Department is supportive of the Government's Smarter Travel Policy, launched by my colleague, the Minister for Transport, on 5 February last, which recognises the valuable role that workplace travel planning can play in making commuting travel patterns more sustainable.
