I will point out two things. The Tánaiste was here last week, talking about developing occupier's liability insurance. He is hoping to introduce something to address that shortly. I imagine that, at the present time, that extends to somebody who is contracted to work at home. It might be a stretch but I am sure that many legal eagles around the country would not mind trying to create the association. The other matter that I wish to raise relates to taking on somebody on a remote working contract. If a lady wants to start her family, takes a contract for working from home and has that understanding with the employer, will this legislation supersede that understanding, so that she can then request to come into an office, which she was not offered as an option at the start because other people were working in the office?
