Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 July 2020
623. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Education and Skills when the cycle to work scheme will be available for applications from education staff (detail supplied) in view of many school staff wishing to avail of the scheme with the reopening of schools due to take place; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20526/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am glad to inform the Deputy that the cycle to work scheme is available to school staff who are paid by my Department's School Payroll Division. The scheme was deferred for a number of weeks in May 2020 but has been reopened for applications since the 8th of June 2020.
I would encourage school staff who wish to avail of the scheme to submit their cycle to work applications at the earliest opportunity to allow sufficient time for their application to be processed in advance of the new school term. Details of the current scheme and application forms are available on my Department's web site at https://www.education.ie/en/Education-Staff/Services/Payroll-Financial/Cycle-to-Work/Cycle-to-Work-Scheme.html
