flag Ireland proposes law giving workers right to remote work if job allows it, aiming to reduce inequality and commutes.

flag A proposed Irish bill would give workers an enforceable right to remote work if their job allows it, following widespread demand from government employees. flag Currently, employers can deny remote work requests without justification, leading to unequal access that favors higher-paid, senior roles. flag Critics warn the status quo deepens inequality, increases commutes and emissions, and risks burdening women with unpaid labor. flag While supporting the push for flexibility, experts caution remote work isn't feasible for all, especially in healthcare and education, and stress the need for fair pay, job security, and equitable implementation.
