Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dermot Mulligan:

We did that international review and I might ask Mr. Doheny to say a few words about that. The Bill we published was based on, and influenced significantly by, the stakeholder consultation we did. Mr. Doheny can talk in a little more detail about that as well. We wanted to come up with a framework suitable for the Irish situation and that would reflect some of the views, including divergent views, expressed by different stakeholders. It was an attempt to find that balance and middle way to create a framework that would allow remote working to develop in Ireland. That is what we want to do. That is the objective so we are working on how to create a framework to allow that to take place.
