The travel pass scheme is operated in this Department according to the provisions of Department of Finance circular 50/2001. Although staff are encouraged to apply for a calendar year pass, a closing date is not operated by the Department as the scheme is available to new entrants throughout the year. All employees employed on a permanent/probationary basis are accommodated in the scheme.
