Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage (22 Jun 2022)

Brian Leddin: The Minister may have just answered it but for clarity, when I looked at this it seemed that it omits the potential for cargo bikes. There has been a huge uptake of such bikes in Dublin. Dublin City Council has led a very positive initiative around last-mile delivery and there are hubs all over the city. We will probably see that in every city and large town in Ireland in time as it...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Patrick Costello: It is Bike Week. Can we expand the bike to work scheme to people who are not PAYE workers, to the self-employed, the unemployed, pensioners and students? A shift to a subsidy- or voucher-based scheme would bring in many people who currently are not eligible for it and it would be a very good thing to announce during Bike Week.

Mr. Hugh Creegan: On the extension of the green line, we agreed that the green line will be a watch project for a long time. As the Senator is aware, we have the ability to add capacity but at some point, more is needed. As the Senator rightly said, it needs attention. When that intervention is required, plans will be put in place to deliver it. We will wait and see what the plans are. ...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: The Cost of Climate Action: Discussion (17 Jun 2021)

John Lahart: ...suggestions, many of which I have articulated over time. I will make a general point on this and get the OECD response.

When I was growing up, Santa Claus would have brought bikes and skateboards on Christmas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Ms Deirdre Hanlon: I can give the Senator a one-minute answer on e-bikes now. The rule of thumb in respect of the typical cycle ride 7 km but people with electric bikes are likely to cover double that distance.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to conclude with a final question. The bike to work scheme is not strictly under the Minister's Department; it is more the Department of Finance and Revenue. I found out recently that a lot of people are locked out of the scheme. It works in a lot of employment centres but, for example, Members of the Oireachtas cannot avail of the scheme, as far as I know. People who are...
