Macra chief urges support for e-working

THE first woman president of Macra na Feirme has called on political parties to help devise a national strategy to encourage employers to facilitate e-working from home.

Catherine Buckley, 29, from Cork, said employers should be given incentives to allow workers the option of e-working.

She said it is widely accepted that working from home can help workers organise their time more efficiently and reduce the stress of commuting.
