My Department operates a Cycle to Work Scheme for members of the payroll operated by my Department, including Caretakers who are paid under the 78/79 scheme.
Boards of Management of schools are responsible for the employment of grant funded ancillary staff including cleaners. Funding to cater for these services is made available from my Department through the Ancillary Services and Capitation Grants.
The decision to operate a cycle to work scheme for grant funded ancillary staff is a matter for the Board of Management of each individual school .
