Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 October 2009
264 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Transport if his Department is taking part in the cycle to work scheme or plans to do so in the near future; the agencies and bodies under the aegis of his Department taking part in the cycle to work scheme and those which are not; and the impact the implementation of decentralisation will have on participation in the scheme. [34621/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the cycle to work scheme is fully operational in my Department. The scheme is available to all staff in each geographical location of the Department, therefore the implementation of decentralisation will not impact on any staff member wishing to avail of the cycle to work scheme. As this initiative is an optional scheme, the implementation of the scheme in the agencies under the remit of my Department is a matter for decision by those agencies.
