Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I know the Deputy has a real interest in this matter. We spoke on the phone about this not too long ago. At the moment, through my Department and through the Department of the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, we have helped to fund remote hubs and community hubs. To the best of my knowledge, however, currently no Department or Government agency rents desks. I may be wrong about that, but it is something that we need to give consideration to. We want to see more people working remotely in rural towns and villages, in particular, and it might make sense for the public service to come together and option some desks in a few different places, to make those hubs viable and to give people that option.
