Before I move to the Fine Gael slot, I was in Derry at the end of October. The figure I was given, if I am correct, is that 40% of the people working in Derry are from Donegal. Is that an accurate figure? It is a huge number of people, and I presume the same number would be working on the other side of the Border as well. It is a significant issue. The more Covid gets a grip on our society, the more we realise how important it is to have the option of working from home. That is why we can, hopefully, strengthen and support your arguments objectively. Does the opposite apply if one is employing in the South? The witnesses might not have the answer; I certainly do not. Is it the same problem? What happens if one is working from home in Derry, but one is employed in Letterkenny, for example?
