INCREASING numbers are working from home since Covid-19 emerged. And according to a recent survey, 83% of Irish workers want to continue doing so after the pandemic eases.

The survey, conducted by the Whitaker Institute at NUI Galway and the Western Development Commission, showed just 12% want to work remotely on a daily basis, while 42% said they’d like to do so several times a week and 29% would like the arrangement several times per month.
