Serious concerns have been raised by trade unions and other stakeholders about the right to request remote working Bill. They have argued that the Bill heavily favours the employer in that there are excessive grounds under which an employer may refuse a request from an employee to work remotely. This renders the Bill ineffective from an employee's perspective. Are any of these concerns being taken into account? I ask the Minister to outline when this Bill will be brought before the House.

I am told work is ongoing on that issue. It is important we get that Bill to the House because it is critical. We are seeing that there is still a lot of remote working going on, and I am sure that is reflected in the Deputy's own experience. That is of real benefit but how we organise it and work in this partnership approach to get it right is critical. I will pass on to the Tánaiste the Deputy's request to accelerate the Bill as quickly as possible.
