Seanad Éireann — 2021-03-22
============================================================

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

I move:
That leave be given to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for a period of paid leave consequent upon miscarriage or for the purposes of availing of reproductive healthcare; for that purpose to amend the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997; to extend the protection against unfair dismissals conferred by the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2015; to provide for the consequential amendment of certain other Acts; and to provide for related matters.

Annie Hoey (LAB), Agricultural Panel

I second the proposal.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

Tuesday week.

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Is that agreed? Agreed.
