Flexible Work Practices
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-05
============================================================

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I am raising with the Minister of State this evening the opportunity to continue with some of the work practices of local authority staff and councillors that have emerged during the Covid pandemic. Adopting the new flexible working practices we have seen has led to a better and more balanced way of life for many people and their communities. There will be less pressure on public transport if staff are not needed in the same way as they were. I am interested in hearing the Minister of State’s thoughts on this.
