189. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications if he will consider legislative measures in which workers and students are not at a loss in terms of light, heat and waste bills due to having to work and study at home in view of such a scheme in Spain; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28747/20]
View answerThe initiative in Spain, referred to by the Deputy, appears to relate to the costs of working from home for employees. Workplace relations and employee rights are a matter for the Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation. Grant supports for students are the responsibility of the Minister for Education and the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.
