My Department is taking part in the cycle to work scheme and a number of staff have already availed of the scheme. Decentralisation will have no impact on participation in the scheme as my Department is not scheduled to decentralise. The implementation of the scheme by agencies and bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the bodies in question.
