The majority of staff in my Department have been facilitated to work remotely in accordance with Government policy and HSE advice during the COVID 19 pandemic. Guidance has been provided to staff to support them in this changed working environment and online training has also been made available.  A remote working policy for my Department is currently being drafted for the post-pandemic period.  My Department will continue to liaise with their colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in this regard.
