There is no discernible cost to my Department's Vote in administering the cycle to work scheme, as those participating pay for the bicycles and equipment by way of salary sacrifice. The total amount sanctioned to date by way of cycle purchases for 4 staff in my Department is €2,181. There are minor costs arising in the context of processing applications received and in carrying the up-front costs until such time as those are offset by the gradual deductions from salary. Neither of these is quantifiable.
