I want to raise with the Taoiseach the issue of remote working. Last week, I met representatives of Dublin Chamber. They are becoming increasingly concerned about the delay in publishing the code of practice. It is not an inordinate delay but there is something of a delay nevertheless. As it stands, work patterns are being established by people who are concerned that when the code of practice is published, they may have to change them. Equally, workers who want to work remotely are being told by their employers to wait. I am conscious that there are many people working remotely and availing of hybrid arrangements at present but they need these arrangements to be put on a firmer footing. Can the Taoiseach advise me when the statutory code of practice will be published?

I do not have a date for the Deputy. I will make inquiries of the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, as to when that is being done. I am familiar with the legislation; I remember us working together on it. I am not as up to date on it as I would have been then. I will certainly make inquiries with the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, and ask him to come back to the Deputy directly.
