Enterprise Committee to discuss Remote Working Bill with representatives from ICTU and IBEC

The meeting will take place in Committee Room 1 of Leinster House between 09:30 - 12:30.

Representatives from Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC) and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) will address the meeting.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Maurice Quinlivan said: “We welcome the opportunity to meet with representatives from ICTU and IBEC regarding pre-legislative scrutiny of this Bill.”

“This law will provide a legal framework for employees to request remote work and will provide legal clarity for employers to deal with such requests.”

“Remote and hybrid working have become the new normal for employers and employers so it is crucial that there is legislative access to flexible working arrangements while striking a balance between the rights of both parties.”
