Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 January 2026
28. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Transport if he will confirm his Department's current remote work policy for Departmental staff; if there are plans to modify the policy in 2026; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2716/26]
View answerIn accordance with the Civil Service Blended Working Framework, published on 31st March 2022, my Department has implemented its own Blended Working Policy. Since the 1st July 2022, my Department has facilitated flexible blended working arrangements for all eligible staff members, on a pattern of up to a maximum of 5 days over a fortnight period on a 2 days / 3 days alternating pattern for office attendance as determined by business need, with flexibility expected from staff on other days where there are particular business requirements. Certain roles within my department are ineligible for remote work on the basis of their core duties requiring full-time in person attendance.
There are currently no plans to modify the policy.
