I thank the witnesses for the information they supplied, which is certainly very interesting. This is a tiny bit off topic but it is a bit current so I would not mind getting the view of the witnesses. If it is not possible here, perhaps we can talk afterwards. Does Ms Coleman-Dunne think there is any value at some point in the Department and specifically the Tánaiste reissuing the work from home advice given the rapid increase in the cost of fuel and the likely impact on the pocket of people going in and out to work but also given that we read in the newspapers that there is a possibility, however remote, of fuel shortages? Does Ms Coleman-Dunne think this should be on the agenda? I know the advice was lifted in line with the restrictions, which is fair enough, and we are working on the remote working Bill as well. That Bill will come but what about the here and now? If it is too far off topic, that is fine. We can discuss it afterwards but it has been in my head since I was driving in this morning. I knew I was going to be talking to officials from the Department so I thought I might just throw it out there.
