Parental Leave Bill
Deputy Ó Caoláin asked when the Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill would be signed into law. The Minister said it was currently before the Seanad and he did not have the next sitting date.
At what point is the Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill? It must be signed into law. Will the Minister advise the House on the timeframe for the matter to conclude? There are parents on whom it will have an impact if it is not presented shortly.
Comment on this
It is in the Seanad and under deliberation there. I do not have a schedule of forthcoming Seanad business but I would be happy to have someone in the Seanad contact the Deputy as to when it might next be ordered.
