On distance, this is about remote working; it is about being location agnostic. There is a need to tighten up the parameters regarding people outside the country. The formal disciplinary process seems a little unfair. Somebody might be struggling because they could need remote work. Unless it has to do with health and safety or data protection, I wonder why the measure is included. I support the Tánaiste’s clear statement that it is not just about a solely procedural right in terms of the appeal because it also needs to be about the reasonableness of the request.
