I have engaged with the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, on how we can provide support for those types of examples. We are already doing it in a variety of different locations. Where people are not commuting long distances and are working remotely, we need to look at the possibility of government providing local services such that people do not have to do so from home but can access a range of services locally, including broadband connectivity. It is these types of innovative measures that we need to be looking at doing now.
