Employment equality amendment Bill
Ciara Conway asks when the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill will reach the Dáil to amend section 37 and protect teachers and nurses; the Taoiseach says it awaits scheduling by the Whips.
There was a very historic occasion last night when the Marriage Bill 2015 was passed by the Seanad. The Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 has passed all Stages in the Seanad. When will it be taken in the Dáil? Section 37 of the Employment Equality Act 1998 needs to be amended as soon as possible because it is having major implications for teachers and nurses, in particular.
