Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 June 2025
268. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment the number of people working full-time and part-time in his Department and bodies under the aegis of the Department in roles that are fully on-site, hybrid, or fully remote from 2022 to date, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33500/25]
View answerMy Department published its first Blended Working policy in June 2022.
Under this policy, staff who are eligible for blended working are required to attend the office for two days per week or more, depending on business needs.
That policy was revised and re-communicated to all staff in June 2023, retaining the existing blended working patterns.
A second review of the policy is currently underway, in consultation with staff. This review is expected to be completed by end September.
In addition below is the number of people working full-time and part-time in the Department in roles that are fully on-site, hybrid, or full remote from 2022 in date:

Please note that the above figures are taken from a report downloaded from the Document Management System (DMS), and are based on staff who have applied for blended working through the NSSO HR self-service portal.
These figures do not include any staff who did not apply for blended working via NSSO HR self-service portal.
We are still gathering data from the Agencies, as such part of this question will be deferred and the data will be supplied to the deputy within 10 working days.
