I received correspondence from the Irish Cycling Campaign requesting a meeting to discuss transport policy and its impact on cyclists. A reply to their request was issued on 18 April 2005 stating that officials from my Department are available for an initial meeting with Irish Cycling Campaign. Further correspondence was issued on 23 June 2005 suggesting that the Irish Cycling Campaign contact relevant officials to arrange the meeting. The Irish Cycling Campaign contacted officials in my Department on the issue on 28 June 2005. Arrangements for a meeting to discuss the issues that come within the remit of my Department are currently being made.
