If a worker leaked a confidential document and was being investigated by the Guards for same, could they still apply for remote working? Asking for a friend.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on his birthday in Downing Street on June 19, 2020; the late BBC Radio presenter Lisa Shaw
Hello @BorisJohnson
Did you know you shared a birthday with my wife Lisa Shaw?
19th June.
In 2020 she didn’t have a birthday party with friends, family or colleagues.
It turns out this was to be her last birthday.
She died May 2021 after after taking the AZ CoVid vaccine

Nattily-dressed Housing Minister James Corden Darragh O’Brien arrives for a cabinet meeting to sign off on changes to the mortgage to rent scheme (where a ‘social landlord’ buys your home allowing you to stay as a tenant and complete mortgage payments to the council or housing association). To wit:
Mortgage to Rent provides a solution to a complex problem by giving a person or family the option of remaining in their own home despite acute mortgage difficulties – easing some of the undoubtedly massive stress which people face. #HousingforAll pic.twitter.com/peNxqUJ0jE

Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald at the funeral of Chris Wall, Mr Ahern’s friend and advisor for four decades, at St Peter’s Church, Phibsborough, Dublin on January 4
This morning.
Via Irish Times Letters:
Regarding Pat Leahy’s article mentioning the funeral of my brother Chris Wall (“Is a half-embrace at a funeral a sign that Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil will cosy up together?”, for the record, Mary Lou McDonald was there as a neighbour and Bertie Ahern as a long-time friend.
My brother’s funeral was not the forum for any political purpose.

The Russian Ambassador to Ireland Yury Anatoliyevich Filatov hosts a press conference in the embassy over the current situation in the Ukraine and Russia’s plans to hold naval exercises 240km off the southwest coast of Ireland.
Ambassador Filatov complained of a “propaganda campaign” about a Russian threat to Europe and he said there are no plans for Russia to attack Ukraine or anybody else.
He said:
“It looks like the topic of the exercises fits in the ongoing propaganda campaign led by the US and its NATO to create an illusion over Russian threats to Europe.”
Meanwhile…
Ask the Ambassador why the Russian Navy has not paid the 160,000 Euro owed to Ireland after their last Naval exercise which polluted our seas in 2009. navy Admiral told me they would pay and 3 years later Ambassador said to me Russia would never pay. https://t.co/FjzvH5CeJU
