Flexible Work Practices
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-15
============================================================

Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

I apologise for being late this morning. One of the delights of living in Dublin and in the country is occasionally getting stuck behind a tractor. My question is fairly straightforward. It relates to the explosion in the number of people working from home. Will the Minister consider putting in place recognition for remote working as a protected form of work, with particular safeguards, protections and allowances for these workers?
