James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I apologise, Acting Chairman, for being absent. I was on a call and did not notice the time going by. I welcome the Minister and congratulate her on the wonderful work she has been doing in her Department. She has been a pleasure to work with on the issue I am raising, as my colleague, Deputy Stanton, will agree. My question relates to remote working infrastructure. This is hugely important in my constituency of Cork East and in other constituencies across the country. It is important to recognise that people saw new light and opportunity in rural Ireland in the context of changed work practices during the pandemic. One aspect of this is having remote working hubs in place. I am aware that many private operators also have an interest in potentially looking at this option. Will the Minister update the House in this regard?
