Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for appearing before us. I am very heartened to know I am not the only person who says remote workly when I mean work remotely. It is an easy mistake to make but I am glad I am not alone in occasionally getting that confused. Mr. Mulligan said the Department is looking at strengthening the right to appeal. I really welcome that. There is no point in us pretending...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome that the Department is open to looking at it. We only have to look across the water to see how the legislation is working in Britain.

To be honest this is what is most disappointing....

Let us be honest, it is regrettable we are at the stage where something that is so desperately needed by workers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It is not in any way clear from the legislation that it is referencing Spain or anywhere outside the jurisdiction. It relates to some sort of a unspecified distance requirement. The Department does see the difficulty with this. Workers could be working from just down the road. They could be working in the next building. They could live in the next building and choose to work remotely for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will not use my allotted time later as I will have to leave and I apologise for that. In the event that a worker seeks to access their rights under this legislation, he or she could have to wait for a year an a half before getting a result on his or her appeal. Is the Department examining a mechanism whereby that might be speeded up, or is it simply considering the reasonableness, or...
