My Department is fully aware of the provisions of Section 7 of the Finance (No.2) Act 2008 which provides for this initiative by way of an income tax exemption. I can inform the Deputy that my Department is actively considering the detailed arrangements that will be required to implement the cycle to work scheme and I understand that my colleague, the Minister for Finance, intends to issue a Circular which will provide uniform guidelines to all public bodies on how the scheme is to operate.
