Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In making the decision to merge the two Bills, we took on board the report of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, of which the Deputy is a member, and listened to the views of employer groups and unions through the Labour Employer Economic Forum, LEEF. The plan is to insert the remote working provision into the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman's, Bill on Report Stage, which is supposed to be taken in the coming weeks. We hope it will get through the Dáil before the recess and perhaps through the Seanad. I expect to see that legislation enacted, if not by the Christmas recess, certainly by the Easter recess.
