Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance whether he will consider making employer participation in schemes mandatory where requested by an employee; if he will consider reforming the schemes to allow employees to claim the relevant tax reliefs directly from Revenue Commissioners without employer involvement in view of the Programme for Government commitment to review and expand the bike-to-work scheme to increase uptake among all workers, and ongoing concerns that both the bike to work and taxsaver schemes are inaccessible to many employees due to their reliance on voluntary employer participation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
