Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has made a very fair point. The right to request remote working is a positive and progressive step forward. As new initiatives are unfolded and develop, they evolve over time. Ireland has a higher level of remote working than most other countries right now and some of that is due to the Covid experience. It is important that we promote that. I know the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy McGrath, will be bringing forward proposals in respect of the public service and remote working.
