Louise O'Reilly: 3. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment for an update on the WRC "code of practice" on remote working. [5571/24]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Employment Rights (8 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: It was reported that the WRC intended to finalise the code of practice on remote working by 31 January. Clearly, that date has come and gone. We have not seen it as yet and it has not been published. I am looking for an update as to the status of the code and a date for publication. The Minister will be as aware, as I am, that both workers and employers are left in something of a limbo....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Employment Rights (8 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister for his reply. The current Taoiseach promised that the legal right would be delivered before he left his role as Minister for enterprise, so the Minister present might forgive me if I am a little bit sceptical about the Government's intention in this regard. The Minister says he wants to make remote working a feature. Remote working is a feature of work at the moment....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Employment Rights (8 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: It was not published. That is what the Minister's spokesperson said. I am not putting words into anyone's mouth. That is a fact. My concern today is on behalf of both workers and employers. The Minister will appreciate that while he says there is a sense of urgency, I asked a priority question on this back in 2021 and it is now 2024. I do not know if the Minister's version of urgent...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (8 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister referenced the service level agreements. In his response can he indicate when that is sought to be finalised? He referenced that discussions were ongoing. I welcome the acknowledgement from the Minister that the previous schemes - I assume he was referring to TBESS - were not taken up because of form-filling, bureaucracy and costs. I had heard the suggestion that small-...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (8 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: Just over 10% of the TBESS money was actually drawn down. I am not suggesting for a moment that it is an insignificant sum but there was a massive miscalculation on the part of the Government, either for the appetite for the scheme - I would contend that the appetite was most definitely there - or the capacity for small to medium enterprises to actually engage with the scheme. The...
