General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Patricia King:
The only engagement we had was with the Labour Employer Economic Forum. There is a subcommittee of that which is chaired by the Tánaiste and on one occasion that I can recall those two Ministers attended a subcommittee. I want to make it clear that at those meetings, the substance, content or detail of a remote working Bill was never discussed with us. They were working on producing heads of Bill but there was never discussion with us on the details of those heads. I want to make it clear that there was nothing of that nature.
