Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

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

Ms ?ine Maher:

It is, and it comes, in fact, from the working strategy, as the Senator will know. Those are the reasons there is a minimum term of employment. I know that the Senator's view is that the 26 weeks stands out. On the basis of our engagement and the public consultation, there was a divergence of views on this. Some wanted a lot more. I am conscious of the Senator's time.
