I will share my time with Deputy Flaherty. I thank Ms McElwee and Ms King for their presentations. They both raised valid points and concerns. I note that Ms King said that union representatives on the ground are advising employers who are reluctant to engage until legislation is implemented. Will Ms King expand on that? As far as the Irish Congress of Trade Unions is aware, has it been the norm since the lifting of Covid restrictions for employees who have been working remotely to return to their workplaces and no longer work remotely at all?
