Ceist:

Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport the steps taken by agencies under the remit of his Department to support the implementation of the national remote work strategy Making Remote Work; the approximate number or percentage of staff within these agencies who have access to cloud services for remote videoconferencing and the capacity to work remotely; if there are plans to increase this percentage; the framework under which procurement for this is managed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

While I have referred your question to the agencies under the aegis of my Department for direct answer, I can advise that the Programme for Government seeks to deliver a better life for all and the Government is committed to facilitating and supporting remote working.

The objective of the National Remote Work Strategy "Making Remote Work" is to ensure that remote working is a permanent feature in the Irish workplace in a way that maximises economic, social and environmental benefits.

Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply from the agencies within 10 working days.
