Mr. Alan Eustace and Ms Niamh Egleston in Trinity College Dublin have proposed an alternative model of remote working based on annual leave, where a worker would effectively be entitled to a number of days of remote working in the course of a year. Is that something the Department has considered as an addition to the current model, which is based on all-year-round remote working and the right to remote working? The idea is that a worker who normally would travel to the place of work might be able to say that he or she is also entitled to 20 days of remote working and can take them as necessary.
