Before the Minister makes her closing comments, I refer to the point made by Deputy Ó Cuív. The Minister for Finance made an announcement in budget 2020 that we look at the possibility of staff being able to hotdesk in other Government offices. For argument's sake, that would mean someone who is based in the Department of Social Protection in Sligo, Carrick-on-Shannon or Longford hotdesking in Roscommon or Athlone, if that were closer to his or her home, rather than commute daily. People would still work in a public office but would be able to hotdesk. Has any progress been made on hotdesking? I realise the Minister may be unable to provide details today but I would appreciate it if she could furnish the information to the committee.
