As I outlined in my responses to a number of questions on the cycle to work scheme on 16 June, any extension of the scheme or increase in the allowance, would create an additional cost and that cost must be recovered elsewhere.

The scheme continues to be kept under review by my officials and the Programme for Government commitment will be considered as part of the ongoing budgetary and Finance Bill process. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment at this time, on what changes, if any, are being considered in terms of this relief or any other tax relief.
