Paid maternity leave in semi-State bodies
Ryan asked what paid maternity-leave arrangements exist in the Department’s semi-State bodies and what steps would be taken where none exist. Geoghegan-Quinn said she lacks authority over their employment conditions and therefore would not intervene.
asked the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Energy if he will state in detail in relation to each semi-State body associated with his Department, what arrangements, if any, exist for the provision of paid maternity leave for their employees; and, in the case of any which do not have such arrangements, the steps he proposes to take to see that such arrangements are made.
