Fís d'Athfhorbairt na Sraithe Sinsearaí

In 2022, leag an tAire amach clár uaillmhianach maidir le hathfhorbairt na Sraithe Sinsearaí agus an clár á threorú ag fís den tSraith Shinsearach a sholáthraíonn "cothromas agus barr feabhais do chách."

Cuireann an Tuarascáil Chomhairleach ón gComhairle Náisiúnta Curaclaim agus Measúnachta (CNCM) maidir le hathbhreithniú ar an tSraith Shinsearach bonn eolais faoin gclár agus cuireann an clár leis an tuarascáil sin, chomh maith le taithí scoláirí na hArdteistiméireachta, éileamh ar athrú agus an t-éileamh sin ag fás agus taithí agus dearthaí idirnáisiúnta.

Na príomhathruithe ar an tSraith Shinsearach

Scoláirí Faigh amach conas a rachaidh na hathruithe i gcion ortsa

Tuismitheoirí Faigh amach conas a rachaidh na hathruithe i gcion ar do dhuine óg féin Scoileanna Faigh tuilleadh eolais faoi do chuid rannpháirtíochta in athfhorbairt na Sraithe Sinsearaí

An Ardteistiméireacht Bhunaithe

* I scoilbhliain 2025/26, bainfidh scoláirí leas as naoi gcinn d'ábhair nua agus leasaithe a bheith á gcur i bhfeidhm ar bhonn céimnithe dhá bhliain níos luaithe ná mar a fógraíodh roimhe sin.

* Is iad seo a leanas na hábhair leasaithe do scoláirí sa Chúigiú Bliain in 2025/26: Bitheolaíocht, Fisic, Ceimic, Gnó, Araibis, Sean-Ghréigis agus Laidin.

* Is iad seo a leanas an dá ábhar nua a bheidh ar fáil i scoileanna roghnaithe ó 2025/26: Léann na Drámaíochta, na Scannánaíochta agus na hAmharclannaíochta, agus Gníomhú ar son na hAeráide agus Forbairt Inbhuanaithe.

* Cuimseoidh gach ceann de na hábhair nua agus leasaithe comhpháirteanna nua measúnaithe nach ionann iad agus gnáthscrúdú scríofa.

* Beidh 40% ar a laghad de na marcanna atá ar fáil ag gabháil leis na comhpháirteanna sin agus déanfaidh Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit (CSS) iad a mheas go seachtrach.

* Tabharfar isteach sraith eile de shonraíochtaí nua (Cuntasaíocht, Staidéar Foirgníochta, Innealtóireacht, Béarla, Tíreolaíocht, Corpoideachas) i scoilbhliain 2026/27 agus tabharfar isteach breis sonraíochtaí leasaithe gach bliain ina dhiaidh sin.

Clár na hArdteistiméireachta Feidhmí agus Gairmchlár na hArdteistiméireachta

* Ó thús scoilbhliain 2022/23, tá deis ag scoláirí a bhfuil clár na hArdteistiméireachta Feidhmí á dhéanamh acu Matamaitic na hArdteistiméireachta a dhéanamhagus, nuair is féidir, Nuatheanga na hArdteistiméireachta.

* Ciallaíonn na hathruithe más rud é go bhfuil rochtain ar Mhatamaitic na hArdteistiméireachta de dhíth ar scoláire i gcomhair roghanna sa bhreisoideachas, go ndéanfar freastal ar an scoláire sin fad agus atá sé nó sí ag leanúint ar aghaidh freisin le clár na hArdteistiméireachta Feidhmí.

* Oibreoidh an Roinn le fostóirí agus le páirtithe leasmhara eile, chun iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar bhealaí chun cinn níos fearr dóibh siúd atá ag tabhairt faoi chlár na hArdteistiméireachta Feidhmí.

* Ó thús scoilbhliain 2022/23, i scoileanna a bhfuil Gairmchlár na hArdteistiméireachta (GCAT) á sholáthar acu, tá ar chumas scoláirí atá ag tosú sa chúigiú bliain Nascmhodúil GCAT a dhéanamh gan na critéir a bhaineann go sonrach le hábhar a shásamh.

* Tá athfhorbairt á déanamh ar Nascmhodúil GCAT agus beidh siad á dtabhairt isteach i scoileanna i scoilbhliain 2026/27.

* Tá tuilleadh oibre á déanamh ar Chonairí do scoláirí ATF.

Beidh an Idirbhliain mar chlár neamhspleách i gcónaí sa tSraith Shinsearach.

* Tá aRáiteas leasaithe Chlár na hIdirbhliana curtha faoi bhráid an Aire le breithniú a dhéanamh air agus é a cheadú, sula dtabharfar isteach i scoileanna é in 2024.

Cláir Foghlama Leibhéal 1 agus Leibhéal 2

D'iarr an tAire ar an gComhairle Náisiúnta Curaclaim agus Measúnachta (CNCM) Cláir Foghlama Leibhéal 1 agus Leibhéal 2 (Cláir L1/L2) a fhorbairt don tSraith Shinsearach

Conas a thacófar leis na hathruithe

* Cuireadh clár fairsing oibre ar bun chun na hathruithe atá á bhfógairt a chur i bhfeidhm.

* Tá Bord um Chlár Athfhorbartha na Sraithe Sinsearaí a Sholáthar bunaithe chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar sholáthar agus tuairisciú don Aire ar dhul chun cinn.

* Tá Fóram Comhpháirtithe na Sraithe Sinsearaí bunaithe chun a bheith mar thaca faoin gcomhoibriú atá riachtanach chun tacú leis an bhfeidhmiú. San áireamh ann, tá ionadaithe scoláirí, tuismitheoirí, múinteoirí, comhlachtaí ceannaireachta agus bainistíochta scoile agus earnáil na hionchuimsitheachta.

* Tá Oifig Bainistíochta tiomnaithe um Athfhorbairt na Sraithe Sinsearaí bunaithe ag an Roinn chun na bearta atá leagtha amach sa chlár oibre a chur i bhfeidhm.

* Beidh acmhainní ann chun tacú leis na hathruithe, lena n-áirítear foghlaim ghairmiúil do mhúinteoirí, modhanna curaclaim agus measúnaithe a fhorbairt agus tacaíocht do scoileanna chun na hathruithe a chur i bhfeidhm.

An Dul chun Cinn go dtí seo

* Tá an glao ar iarratais ó scoileanna le bheith mar scoil Chéim a hAon d'ábhair nua na hArdteistiméireachta oscailte anois go dtí an 19 Aibreán 2024 ar 11am.

Loyalty Fee - The price of retailers' reward cards

Loyalty Fee - The price of retailers' reward cards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As your bulging wallet or app-laden phone can probably attest - loyalty programmes are everywhere.

Whether it's your regular supermarket, your local butchers or favourite café, it seems as though almost every retailer is offering some kind of sweeteners to win your business.

But they may not be quite as rewarding as they claim.
Just why do we love loyalty cards?

We all love a deal - whether that's a discount, or money back, or the odd freebie.

We also love being on the inside - and not on the outside, missing out - which is why so many loyalty programmes are called 'clubs'.

And loyalty cards offer us all of that - the promise of some special discounts, some money back - and maybe some offers that we'll miss out of if we're not in the "club".

They also tap into our psyche to draw our interest. There's a phenomenon called the 'endowed progress effect' - where people respond well if they're given steps they have to follow, with a prize at the end.

That's why so many loyalty card rewards are built around the idea of 'make X number of transactions to be entitled to Y'.

They tap into our love of what's essentially a kind of game.
Just how worthwhile are they?
It's hard to generalise - but if you look at them in broad terms, they don't really offer a lot.

Most shops' programmes would offer points back on any money you spend. For most it's one point for every euro spent, and that point is worth one cent.

So if you put that in real terms - you're getting 1% of your money back.

If a retailer announced a sale where it was offering a 1% discount on all its products, it's unlikely that people would be banging down the doors to get in.

The offer from some cafés is slightly better - with many still basing their loyalty programme around a version of the 'buy 10 coffees, get one free'.

That's effectively a 10% discount over the course of 10 or 11 coffees.

But you're probably still looking at spending maybe €40, or even €50 in order to get €4-5 back.

If you're already going to be spending that on takeaway coffees, then at least you're getting something back.

But you wouldn't want to be going out of your way to spend money there - or choosing the more expensive café - just because they're offering you that kind of discount.
The offers can be a bit confusing at times, too...
Yes - because beyond offering points on your spending, some cards also offer money back vouchers based on what you've spent.

Or maybe coupons for particular products that are only valid for a week.

Or they might let you build up vouchers to buy special offer products at a discount.

Or you might get entered into a competition, with one entry for every tenner you spend, or every transaction.

Or they let you use your points to buy products from other companies, or knock some money off a utility bill.

Another trend that has cropped up in the last year or so is the linking of sale prices to a loyalty card too.

So where in the past a retailer might have offered a 20% discount on a certain product, or a three for two deal, now you can only avail of that if you use your loyalty card when paying.
Why are retailers so keen for us to have loyalty cards?
Well the original idea, as the name suggests, was to encourage customer loyalty.

Even 30-odd years ago, when Superquinn was one of the first in Europe to launch a loyalty programme, it was recognised that shoppers are creatures of habit.

So when they come in your door, anything you can do to increase your 'stickiness', could be what gives you a customer for life.

And anything you can do to encourage people to come through your door more often - like those time-limited coupons - will also boost your revenue, because people coming in for one item almost always end up buying a few other things while they're there.

Of course if everyone is offering a loyalty programme, with much the same deals on offer, then that pull gets weakened somewhat.

But in the past decade or so loyalty programmes have transformed into a valuable way of learning so much about customers.
How is that?
When you sign up to a programme you probably have to hand over some information - like your name, maybe address and date of birth.

And that alone helps them to get a picture of their customers' demographics.

And then every time you swipe or scan your card, they're learning about some of your habits - where you do your shopping, whether you do a weekly 'big shop' or do lots of small shops during the week, whether you pay by cash or by card and so on.

And all of that, as basic as it seems, helps to paint a picture of what kind of customer you are - and what kind of offers might get you to come back to spend more.
And, of course, they know what's in your trolley...
Yes - and this is really the motherlode for retailers.

If you imagine being given someone's weekly grocery receipt -it probably wouldn't take long for you to build up a pretty good profile of them.

You could obviously see quite quickly if they have any brands that they always use.

But you'd also know quite quickly if there was a baby in their house, for example, because they were buying nappies every week. You could probably go so far as to guess the baby's age on the size of the nappies they were buying.

You'd know quickly if they were vegetarian or vegan, if they drink - and how much. If they have a sweet tooth - and what their treat of choice is. You'd know if they have a dog or a cat.

You can see they buy flour regularly, so they probably like to bake.

Or maybe you can see that they eat healthily during the week but then, on a Saturday, they come in and buy an oven pizza, a tub of ice cream and a few beers.

And because they know your name, date of birth, maybe your gender - they can then use that to build a profile of people similar to you.

All of that helps them to better target offers at you in the future.

And if they're really good they might even be able to pre-empt your thinking, which means you get a notification on your app on a Saturday morning giving you 20% off a large tub of ice cream, but only if you buy it today.
Can retailers really use the data in that way?
If you're dealing with tens or hundreds of thousands of customers, and millions of transactions and products each year, it's going to be hard to actually make sense of all of that and find some signal in the noise.

But there's a big prize on offer for those that get it right.

There was an estimated €12.4 billion in grocery sales in Ireland alone last year - coffee sales are thought to be worth somewhere in the region of €1 billion each year.

So it's worth it for retailers to put resources into analysing the data.

And there have been some fairly chilling examples of it being put to very effective use.

Perhaps the best is US retailer Target, which years ago tasked its analysts with figuring out which of its customers were expecting a baby.

The theory was that the arrival of a child was one of the few points at which people's habits were upended, and so there was a chance of getting them to switch retailer.

But if Target waited until they started buying nappies to try to lure them over, it was too late.

So instead, they ran through the data and eventually hit upon a formula that calculated a 'pregnancy prediction score' based around a handful of products.

They figured that if someone suddenly started buying certain items - like unscented moisturiser, certain supplements, big bags of cotton wool - then it was likely they were pregnant, and more than likely they were in their second trimester.

In fact Target reckoned they could predict the due date itself with a fair degree of accuracy, too.

And from there, they could then start timing certain offers and coupons to that customer, in the hope that they would come to Target to buy what they needed for the baby, and then keep shopping there after it was born.

And the story goes that they even got a call from an irate father who wanted to know why his teenage daughter was being sent coupons for nappies and cribs; only for it to turn out that the shop had spotted his daughter was pregnant before her family did.
It's all very creepy...
Very - and Target quickly found out that - unsurprisingly - people didn't like to find out that their reproductive systems were being closely monitored by a shop.

So what they started to do was effectively hide the promotions in plain sight.

A customer would get a book of coupons with offers on regular products, with some extra baby products scattered in there. That way they would probably think the special offer was just fortunate timing, rather than the result of corporate surveillance.

And as creepy as that is, that's just what the retailer itself is doing with your data.

Because, depending on the terms and conditions of what you've agreed to when signing up, there is the potential for that data to be made available to third parties.

Aside from that there the ever-present risk of a data breach.

There have been countless loyalty programmes targeted by hackers in recent years - including Tesco's, Boots', hotel programmes IHG Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy, and airline loyalty programmes Oneworld and Star Alliance.
Should we just steer clear of loyalty programmes?
Even if you wanted to, it's getting harder.

Of course there's nothing to stop us from simply refusing to sign up to a loyalty card - bar maybe having to have that awkward interaction at the till every time where they ask if you have a card.

But there is a growing trend of retailers hiding special offers and discounts behind their loyalty card system.

And that means that people, who maybe don't have easy access to another retailer, have to make a choice between saving money and their privacy.

That's a particularly difficult choice to make for many in the current climate - but forcing people to make that call doesn't seem to have done anything to hinder the market share of the retailers in question.

But another, major shift that's potentially coming down the track is the arrival of checkout-free shops.

For these, cameras and sensors detect the items you pick up and automatically charge you once you leave.

That's made possible by the fact that you scan an app when you come in the door - linking you back to the loyalty system.

Amazon has been pioneering the concept in its Fresh stores; which are in the US, with a growing number in the UK and mainland Europe.

Meanwhile Tesco has also started to dabble with the idea in the UK, through shops called Tesco GetGo.

And in one of them in central London they only allow customers to use the automated system.

That means that, if you want to shop in there, you have to sign up to their loyalty card system, and you have to hand over your data.

Students will consider their role and experience as consumers and will be able to identify their rights and responsibilities enshrined in the relevant legislation and will apply the cross-cutting themes of ethics and sustainability when reflecting on their role as consumers.

In this strand students will build on prior knowledge, experience and learning from junior cycle and develop the capacity to make informed and rational financial decisions while also understanding how the financial market is regulated and how advances in digital technology mean that money can take many forms.

As they prepare for adult life students will also have an opportunity to learn about the workplace and to determine their rights and responsibilities as an employee. They will also gain an understanding of new ways of working and will apply the lens of the cross-cutting themes underpinning the specification to the world of work.

Strand 1: Exploring the Business Environment 

# data[].attributes.body
In this strand students will develop an understanding of the business environment. Students explore how the government makes decisions that impact on business, and how business impacts on society, the environment and the economy.

They explore how developments at national, European and international levels impact on the world of business and consider how digital developments and international trade can impact on consumers and businesses alike.

They will learn about the world of global business and how Ireland’s open economy can benefit from international trade, while also recognising the associated challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
This strand explores both leading and managing in business and students develop an understanding of how leadership and management impact on the successful development of an organisation, while also recognising the significance of ethical and cultural considerations in increasingly diverse workplaces.

Approaches to recruitment, selection and appraisal are explored and students have an opportunity to consider the impact of digital technology and to recognise the value of human capital and professional development in the workplace. The significance of organisational culture is also considered in this strand.

Effective communication is a key factor in successful organisations and in this strand, students explore different modes of communication and identify potential barriers to communication.

The importance of contingency planning is also explored, and students will recognise the need for project planning and effective crisis management.

This learning permeates all four of the contextual strands and brings to life the practices and norms of working with information and data to arrive at informed conclusions, decisions, and recommendations.

The learning in this strand also fosters the cross-cutting theme of the entrepreneurial mindset as students engage in a process where they must think broadly, recognise and act on opportunities, consider risks, diversify, and adapt to change and learn from their experiences.

Students can also apply this learning to their exploration of topical business-related reports and news items and in having opportunities to communicate in a range of formats.

There are more than 1 billion people in the world living with some form of disability. This corresponds to about 15% of the world's population. (WHO 2020)

In Ireland there are approximately 650,000 people living with a disability. Research shows that people with disabilities have far fewer employment opportunities when compared to their non-disabled peers.

Only 36.5% of people with a disability (aged between 20 and 64) are in employment compared to 72.8% of people without a disability. (CSO 2016)

Department of Enterprise guidance for remote working practices

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This information is designed to assist workers and businesses with the practicalities of implementing remote working arrangements. Informed by the findings of the 2019 Remote Work in Ireland report and 2020 consultation on remote work guidance, this webpage acts as a central access point bringing together State guidance, legislation and advice in a single location. It is a live resource which is regularly updated as new guidance is published. This guidance forms an important part of delivering the vision outlined in the National Remote Working Strategy.

Employer checklist

As remote working arrangements have numerous impact areas and vary for businesses, it can be time-consuming to get to grips with all the relevant considerations to be undertaken. To provide employers with a quick way to navigate the adoption of remote working arrangements, the department has produced a checklist for working remotely. This checklist covers each of the areas outlined on this page in an easy-to-use format for businesses.

Health and safety

The responsibility for health and safety at work rests with the employer regardless of whether an employee works remotely. There are numerous pieces of legislation covering the topic of Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, which can be found under the legislation section of this webpage. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has overall responsibility for the administration and enforcement of health and safety at work in Ireland.

General health and safety

The HSA webpage on remote working provides guidance and information on responsibilities under safety, health and welfare law. This page provides guidance on working from home (PDF). This includes advice such as the key responsibilities for the employee and employer, work-related stress, equipment provision, maintaining communication, good practice in setting up a workspace and risk assessment (PDF).

If employees have a disability, are young workers or are pregnant, the employer needs to ensure that the tasks and working conditions do not adversely affect their health. The HSA has provided further information on sensitive risk groups.

Setting up an ergonomic workspace

The HSA has produced a Position Yourself Well infographic (PDF), to advise employees on setting up an ergonomic workspace. The HSA also provides further guidance on this area in its guidance on working from home (PDF).

Work-related stress

Safety, health and welfare at work also covers psychosocial aspects such as work-related stress.

The employer has a duty to have safe systems of work in place; they should ensure that the system of work for those working from home is reasonable. This includes supervision, communication, training, breaks, supports, and fairness, allocation of work and respectful behaviour and management.

As such, where stress complaints do arise, these should be met with considered, systematic and appropriate control measures. The HSA provides a guide on work related stress and has released a podcast which addresses this topic.

Mental health and wellbeing

It is important for employees to maintain their mental wellbeing whilst working remotely. This includes avoiding overwork, getting regular exercise and spending time away from their screen.

A useful resource for minding our mental wellbeing and overall health is the Healthy Ireland ' Keep Well' campaign. This is an online resource with tips on looking after mental wellbeing, staying active, staying connected, eating well and switching off. The HSE also provides advice for looking after our mental health and wellbeing.

Employ ment co nditions

Employers have certain responsibilities towards their employees regardless of whether an employee works remotely. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) outlines these obligations on ' What You Should Know' which includes information on employer obligations, hours and wages, annual leave and codes of practice.

Right to request remote work

According to the WRC, there is no legislation providing for a right to remote working. Currently, an employer decides the location of an employees' place of work, and this should be included in the Terms and Conditions of employment following mutual agreement.

The National Remote Work Strategy included the commitment to introduce legislation on an employees' right to request remote work. The public consultation on the right to request remote work was held between 1 April and 7 May 2021 with the General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill being published on 25 January 2022.

Following scrutiny by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment and input from other stakeholders, the government agreed to integrate the right to request remote work into the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 as the most efficient way to introduce this right for all workers.

The Work Life and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023 successfully completed its passage through the Oireachtas on 29 of March 2023, and was signed into law on 4 of April 2023.

Once the Act has taken effect, the right to request remote working will be available to all employees. The other elements of flexible working arrangements, such as adjusted working patterns or reduced hours will remain limited to parents and carers, though there is provision in the Act for this to be reviewed after two years.

Employers will be obliged to have regard to a Statutory Code of Practice when considering applications for remote working arrangements. The Code will include guidance for employers and employees regarding their obligations regarding compliance. Employees will be able to refer a dispute to the WRC where an employer fails to have regard to the Code of Practice and their obligations under the Act.

Orga nisation of Working Time Act

Employers have a legal responsibility to keep records of employees' hours worked under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Employers must ensure that their employees receive proper breaks within the day, as well as their daily and weekly rest. Employees also must receive their statutory entitlement to annual leave and public holiday entitlements. Employers should consider if their usual method of monitoring working hours is suitable for remote working. In this context, a time management system to record time and attendance is advisable. The WRC has published OWT guidance for employers and employees detailing their responsibilities under the Organisation of Working Time Act.

Right to disconnect

As part of the National Remote Work Strategy and following a public consultation on the right to disconnect the WRC introduced a Code of Practice on the right to disconnect on 1 April 2021. The Code includes guidance for employees and employers on best practice and employee disengagement outside normal working hours.

Equipment provision, home expenses and tax reliefs

Currently there is no legislation governing costs associated with remote working. The WRC has indicated that, in remote working arrangements, costs are generally agreed by the parties and provided for as part of the Terms and Conditions of Employment or a contract of employment.

Revenue has produced guidance for employers with employees working from home on the tax implications of the provision of equipment and facilities, and home expenses. This includes information on how an employer can provide an allowance of €3.20 a day to relevant employees to cover home expenses.

Revenue has also published similar guidance for employees working from home. This includes information on how, if an employer does not provide an allowance for expenses, an employee can make a claim for tax relief at the end of the year. This guidance is aimed at people who are working at home part-time or full-time.

As part of the National Remote Work Strategy, the Department of Finance reviewed the tax arrangements for remote working for employers and employees. As part of Budget 2022 on 12 October 2021, an enhanced income tax deduction for people working from home was announced. This amounts to 30% of the cost of vouched expenses for heat, electricity and broadband.

Employee privacy

Currently, there is no specific legislation dealing with a right to privacy in the workplace. According to the WRC, the Data Protection Acts and GDPR Regulations should be observed in terms of an employees' privacy when working remotely. Guides on applying these Acts are linked in the section below on data protection. The WRC also indicate that an employees' right to privacy is balanced against the rights of the employer to protect the undertaking, its reputation, resources and equipment.

Insurance and liability

Employees should consult their home insurance policies on coverage in the case of an accident or damage to equipment. It is understood that policyholders will generally have cover for their personal office equipment, for example laptops and computers, in the contents section of the household policy up to stated limits.

According to recent advice for organisations released by Insurance Ireland, it is further understood that any equipment provided by an employer to an employee to work remotely is the responsibility of the employer and is typically covered under the business's material damage section of its business package policy, subject to policy limit.

Data protection

Re mote access to networks

According to the Data Protection Commission where a staff member/contractor is allowed to access an employer's network from a remote location, such access creates a potential weakness in the system. For this reason, the need for such access should be properly assessed and security measures reassessed before remote access is granted. The Data Protection Commission have published guidance on this topic in their guidance for controllers on data security.

Protecting personal data

In response to the sharp increase in people working from home, protecting personal data is increasingly important. The Data Protection Commission has released a note on protecting personal data when working remotely. This covers best practice for employees when using devices, emails, cloud and network access, and paper records.

To promote good practice within an organisation, employers can share this information via an infographic provided by the Data Protection Commission (PDF).

Video conferencing

With the widespread adopting of remote working, the number of people video-conferencing and video-calling has increased dramatically. The Data Protection Commission has published a set of tips on video-conferencing for organisations and individuals on how to use these technologies in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.

Cyber security

Phishing, vishing, remote access threats and business email compromise are all challenges organisations can face when operating remotely. The National Cyber Security Centre has released cyber security guidance on working from home (PDF), which contains advice on how employees working from home can maximise wi-fi security, good practice when using personal or work devices, and remote conferencing.

The EU Agency for Cybersecurity has also published a set of tips on maintaining cyber security when working from home.

If an employee is working remotely from a hub, the hub owner should be properly security certified (ISO-27001 or similar). Organisations should consider how to mitigate risks which can arise in a third-party space, such as using VPNs and securing shared devices such as printers with personalised pins. Privacy concerns should also be considered such as security of telephone and video calls, which might be offset by the availability of soundproof rooms.

Equality

Employers should ensure that the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 are being adhered to regardless of whether their employees are working remotely or not. Employers should also be aware of the Equality Acts when adopting remote working or relevant training within their organisation. For instance, an employee working remotely must have equal access to career development, training and promotion opportunities as those working on-site. An overview on the Employment Equality Acts is available from the Citizens Information Board.

Training

As above, whilst there is no specific legislation dealing with the provision of training for remote workers, according to the WRC, best practice would suggest that supports are made available to everyone, regardless of the work location.

The Remote Work in Ireland report highlighted the importance of training for employees working remotely and for managers in managing distributed teams as an enabler of the successful implementation of remote work policies.

Laois and Offaly ETB, in collaboration with IDA Ireland, SOLAS and Grow Remote, are providing dedicated online national training programmes that develop the capability and capacity of prospective and current remote workers and line managers.

Additional supports

Culture, management and motivation

In August 2021, Enterprise Ireland launched Future of Work to assist employers with successfully implementing fully remote, blended and flexible working arrangements in the post-COVID-19 context. The information builds on Enterprise Ireland's June 2021 publication, Emerging through COVID-19: The Future of Work (PDF).

Enterprise Ireland has also produced advice on managing remote working and maintaining employee motivation and engagement when working remotely.

Remote work can take place from the home, a hub, or on the move. Ireland's remote working hub infrastructure offers the chance for users to work closer to home, or while visiting another part of the country, whilst remaining within a social and collaborative office environment.

In May 2021, Ireland's first national digital hub network was launched. ConnectedHubs.ie is an online platform which provides information about the facilities available at remote working hubs throughout Ireland. It enables users to book spaces, desks, offices and events in hubs for short and long term use.
