General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Mr. Dermot Mulligan:
As the Deputy heard from the Minister, we are looking at that. He has asked us to examine that to see what can be done with that piece. We are in the territory of the interests of the employer in running a business and the rights and responsibilities of the employee. That is a complicated area. Legally, there are a number of issues we have to think through in that space as well. It is not simple, but we have been asked by the Minister to examine that and to consider what we can do, so we are looking at that.
