In Galway city, the area I represent, there are several public servants who have stated that they are going back to work permanently on a five-day week basis, whereas there are other public servants who are working to a hybrid model, as they should be. Mr. Mulligan mentioned that his own crew has a hybrid option involving two days and that he is open to increasing that. How long will the uncertainty continue? I am concerned that there is one rule for one group and another rule for another group yet they are both working for local authorities in Galway, whether that is Galway City Council or Galway County Council. Naturally, it is much more difficult for workers who have to travel 45 miles or 50 miles to work, but their counterparts up the road are able to work from home two or three days per week, as is right.
