Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Engagement with Chairperson of the Health and Safety Authority
Ms Patricia Byron:
I have not been made aware of a plan but there could be a plan. I can certainly check that for the Senator. If she wants my own personal view, the terrain has changed completely, as the Senator says, so it would be something that we should be looking at. Whether it is this week or next year, I would be interested in the wisdom around that. It is changing. I have heard of international organisations that have brought people back in four days a week and notified staff they are bringing them back in five days a week. We have no set piece here yet. It is going to be interesting to see where it is going to go. Obviously the unions will have a lot to say about that as well. It is the same with our buildings. We are not sure where they are going to go, whether we are ultimately going to have an undersupply or an oversupply.
