Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

This context is important, and we are doing some work to update this information. Pre-pandemic, nobody thought that people would be working from home. In its review, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform was very conservative in that regard, and rightly so, and decided to not assume that anybody would be working from home or to include that aspect as part of the benefits to be derived from this project. After the last two years, however, we all now know that everybody is working from home and many people will continue to be hybrid workers in future. I refer to the benefits of this development in respect of reduced travel and lower carbon emissions, and all those aspects. When we look at them now with the benefit of hindsight, they are far greater than were ever envisaged.
