One aspect I have not seen raised much is the significant knock-on impact remote working will have on city centres and inner cities in particular, where businesses rely on footfall for their custom. I see it in my own city of Galway. Retail businesses are already trying to fend off increasing challenges from digital giants, of which we are all aware. Fewer people in city centre areas will also significantly impact the hospitality sector. Those two sectors employ around 500,000 across the country. Has IBEC considered this?
