Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Varadkar, is bringing through the legislation on remote working. We certainly have been working with his Department in developing that and will continue to co-operate in every way we can. On Monday I am going to be launching the connected hubs network, which will enable people to access this on an app on their phones. We have over 180 connected and have mapped out over 400 hubs across the country. We are encouraging them to join the network. That work continues on and we hope it will accelerate further this year in terms of the numbers that will join the connectedhubs.ie platform. We are engaged with different organisations. Grow Remote has been particularly good at connecting workers and employers and explaining to them the benefits of remote work.
