I fully support the uptake of the Cycle to Work Scheme by staff in my Department and its aegis bodies.

My Department has been awarded the Smarter Travel Mark by the National Transport Authority, demonstrating our commitment to promoting walking, cycling, public transport usage and carpooling and by implementing measures that facilitate, support and encourage sustainable travel options for our workforce and visitors.

As a member of the Smarter Travel Programme, my Department is currently taking part in the Ready, Set, Cycle programme, which provides a toolkit and resources to encourage and support staff to begin, continue or increase cycling on their commute and beyond.

Information in relation to Cycle to Work Scheme applications for my Department and its aegis bodies is set out in the table below.

** Formerly known as the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

*** Formerly known as the Policing Authority

I am informed that the Irish Prison Service and Criminal Assets Bureau have not been able to collate the requested information in the time allowed. I have instructed these agencies to provide the requested information to the Deputy directly.
