Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Maeve McElwee:

That is the case in terms of any of those meetings. We were not given the detail of the heads of Bill. We are afforded an opportunity to address the fact that the legislation was being brought forward and the impact that we feel it may have for the labour market as is appropriate to the remit of the Labour Employer Economic Forum. We did not discuss or negotiate in any way the heads of Bill. As Ms King has said, they were not made known to us.
