HSE CEO calls for hybrid working model
A hybrid working model should be in place for the next few months, according to the HSE CEO.
It comes as the Tánaiste Leo Varadkar wants to see a return to offices in August - ahead of the schools reopening in September.
It's believed NPHET will now consider the proposal to see if its viable.
Paul Reid believes there will be a certain amount of working from home.
"The more we get back to what people would class as the society we had in 2019 the better, if we can do it in a safe way.
"It is a mental health issue for people as well, people at work is important for mental health and mixing with employees.
"I think we're going to see a hybrid for the next few months, with some element of people getting to work and a continued element of people working at home."
