Under its delegated sanction, as an exception to the recruitment moratorium in the Public Sector, my Department approved a six month extension to the Dublin City Council Cycling Officer's contract in December 2011 in order to provide time for the City Council to consult with the National Transport Authority, review the situation and report to my Department on how the promotion of cycling in Dublin should be addressed in the longer term. I understand that the discussions between the City Council and the NTA are ongoing with a view to the Council reverting to my Department in due course.
