Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 October 2009
340 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government 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. [34614/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe cycle to work scheme commenced in my Department in June 2009. While it is not possible to predict the impact, if any, of decentralisation on the scheme, it should be noted that, of the thirty-eight members of staff who have participated in the scheme to date, eleven are based in decentralised offices in Wexford and six are based in other locations throughout the country.
The implementation of the scheme in the agencies and bodies under the aegis of the Department is a matter for the agencies and bodies themselves.
