I welcome Mr. Kalfin. He said his organisation deals with the individual Presidencies. I assume it is dealing with every institution within Europe. I am curious about how the engagement works. I get it as regards stakeholders such as IBEC and ICTU. On the engagement from Government, the whole point is that Eurofound is looking at best practice throughout Europe and ensuring we have some element of streamlining. There is a huge body of work, from employment rights through to social inclusion. Talking about disability alone, there are added costs relating to that which make things very difficult. Can Mr. Kalfin give us an example of where Eurofound has enacted policy, policy it is working on at the moment or policy the Government is failing to deliver upon? I would be delighted to hear that piece.

We have a changing economy at present with the growth of AI. Everything is absolutely digitalised, or at least should be, but we also have the issue of remote working and cross-Border working. We have a very particular issue here in Ireland where sometimes people cannot take up remote work if they are coming from one jurisdiction, North or South. It is a particular issue here but it is an issue right across Europe. There is probably a lot of it happening without anybody declaring it but we know the issues in respect of tax and so on. I think there is enough on Mr. Kalfin's plate there. I hope the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach will allow a certain amount of flexibility.
