My Department is implementing a Blended Working Policy in line with the policy framework developed for the Civil Service. The Department's policy provides for its employees to work a minimum of on average two days per week on-site in our single location which is our HQ building in Dublin. Employees may work remotely for up to three days per week on average at a location of their choice in Ireland, subject to satisfying relevant health and safety requirements. Employees of the Department work remotely in a variety of locations in different parts of the country.

At the present time, there are no staff of the Department working remotely in Co. Clare.
