Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (24 Nov 2022)

Paschal Donohoe: I propose to take Questions Nos. 171 and 173 together. For clarity, I did not make any changes in Budget 2023 to existing benefit-in-kind (BIK) provisions that would negatively impact on the application of benefit-in-kind for workers. Rather, I amended two specific measures to further enhance the BIK treatment applicable to employees. Firstly, the relief provided for in section 112B...

Pearse Doherty: ...accurate estimates for the scheme. Revenue is not collating the numbers; the Department is just estimating them. Is that correct? The Minister is saying we do not have any definitive numbers as to how many people are applying for it. Given the value of the scheme now with electric cargo bikes and being able to avail of €3,000, is there any intention to have actual verifiable...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022) See 3 other results from this debate

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Deputy that the Dublin Bikes scheme was transformative. Dublin City Council led it out and the public loved it. I also agree that we now need to look at the next stage. I am speaking about Dublin and the supply to other cities to make sure bike schemes expand into other areas. It is confined and relatively restricted at the moment. I am interested in having that concept...

Eamon Ryan: As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Irish Experience of Community-led Climate Action: Public Participation Networks (8 Nov 2022)

Mr. Charles Stanley-Smith: I will come in to speak to two areas, the first of which is public transport. The whole area of Rural Link services is beginning to work. Locally to us, the services operate a route that starts in one village, goes to the next and on to the next but anyone living off the route can dial in and ask to be picked up and the bus will pick that person up. It has that...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Maurice Quinlivan: In Limerick, I drive a car, cycle my bike, walk to work and take local buses where I can, and I mostly take a train when I come to Dublin. The train to Dublin, which I have been taking for seven years, is almost always on time. Unfortunately, the buses in Limerick are a different story. Public transport needs to be safe, reliable and affordable. If it cannot meet these three crucial...

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Brian Leddin: I welcome the Bill. Last week, we had the very welcome news that the bike-to-work scheme is to be extended to €3,000 to enable people to purchase cargo bikes. There is empirical evidence that cargo bikes give at least some families the option to get rid of their car or second car. Many short trips that would be taken by car can and will be taken by bike or cargo bike with this...

Gerald Nash: I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak on the Finance Bill. This legislation gives effect to many of the substantial proposals announced in budget 2023 in late September. This summer saw the longest run-in to a budget in many years at a time of great uncertainty and anxiety. In many ways, budget 2023 flattered to deceive. It is worth remembering that, even with the expenditure of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Micheál Carrigy: I concur with the comments and second the proposal from Senator Burke regarding taxis. The exact same problem exists in my own area in a number of towns, where a parent is not able to transfer the business to a son who is willing to run the business and where there is a shortage of taxis. The vehicles are wheelchair accessible but they cannot transfer the licence. As Senator Burke said,...
