Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-13
============================================================

Alan Farrell (FG), Dublin Fingal

On behalf of Deputy Carroll MacNeill and on my own behalf, I wish to acknowledge the work the Minister is doing regarding the provision of domestic violence leave. It is, of course, a core element of Government policy on sexual, domestic and gender-based, violence. I would like to obtain information on the scheme. I would also like to categorically draw a line in this House under the rather tone deaf and objectionable remarks made by IBEC last week on certification being sought for such leave. I am certain the Government will put its foot down on that.
