My Department introduced the Cycle to Work Scheme in July 2009 and to date 37 staff members have participated in the scheme. The administrative cost to my Department is minimal having regard to the number of participants in the scheme and the fact that payment to the suppliers and salary deductions are performed electronically. Information in relation to applications received from teaching and non teaching staff is not currently available. Relevant information will be forwarded to the Deputy directly when it becomes available.
