Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-15
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

To clarify, the Minister mentioned one part of the Bill is transposition of the EU directive. I am just clarifying because there are two areas where the language is used. One is in respect of seeking flexible working arrangements for care and the other is in respect of remote working. I am looking for clarification as to whether the EU directive-motivated section applies to both of those or solely to one of them. That would be useful for us as we continue on to the next stage of our debate.
