Well, I think, in fairness, if you've, you know, Gardaí, nurses, teachers, huge areas of the public service are in every day and are providing, are in the actual workplace or are providing that frontline service.

We have provided flexible working arrangements, which

I think is valued by many public servants and it's a local employer's discretion at a department or agency level to design it in a way that works for people more generally.

But I agree on the wider reform agenda.

We need to drive greater reform across the public service.

That's something I'm absolutely focused on.

But I think, you know, remote working is something that

is at the discretion of the local department or agency.

And I think that flexibility is also important for many employees in the public service and indeed is continuing across many parts of the private sector as well.

Well, I've just read the statement from the FAI, which is referenced safety and security considerations in the context of that game.

I'm not privy to the details around that, except to say that, you know, safety is obviously of paramount importance for any fans that would travel.

And if they have concerns relating to that,

And that needs to be taken seriously.

And they're obviously responsible for the wider organisation of different games with respect to, you know, whether it's home or away.

So we need to respect that consideration from the FAI and it's obviously a matter for them.

Yeah, it's just that the Israel Football Association are allowing some of their fans to attend the match.

which were flagged with the FAI or were raised with them or they had a concern about that they didn't take seriously and there was an issue that arose.

I think that would be a very serious matter in the aftermath of something which would happen.

So I think we have to always take a safety first approach.

Well, first of all, housing, number one priority for government in everything that we're doing and driving supply in terms of social and affordable homes.
