Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 March 2009
180 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the way in which the cycle to work scheme has been made available to staff in his Department and agencies under his remit; the location at which this scheme is not currently available; when it will be made available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10800/09]
View answerThe purchasing of bicycles under the cycle to work scheme must be in compliance with procurement regulations. My Department is currently in discussions with the Government Supplies Agency on how the proposed scheme might be put into operation and the correct procurement procedures put in place. A circular will issue once an appropriate tendering system is in place.
My Department and the agencies under the remit of my Department will address the implementation of the scheme when the relevant circular has issued.
