The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) administers the Cycle to Work scheme on behalf of my Department. The bicycles and any related equipment which qualify under the scheme are paid for by staff themselves by way of salary sacrifice spread over a single year. Accordingly there are no direct costs incurred by the Department in the facilitation of the scheme.

Details regarding the number of staff from my Department who have availed of the scheme on an annual basis since 2009 to-date are set out in the following table.
