Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-07
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I move amendment No. 25:
In page 16, line 2, to delete “her.”.” and substitute the following:
“her.
Review of Part
13H. The Minister shall, not earlier than one year and not later than 2 years after the commencement of this Part, after consultation with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the Workplace Relations Commission, persons whom he or she considers to be representative of employers generally and persons whom he or she considers to be representative of employees generally, conduct a review of the operation of this Part, having regard to Directive (EU) 2019/1158, and shall prepare a report in writing of the findings of the review and shall cause copies of the report to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas.”.”.
This amendment inserts a new section 13H into the Parental Leave Act, which provides for a review of this Part of the Bill no later than two years after the commencement of the relevant provisions. This review will allow for an opportunity to review the operation of the new entitlements under this Part. It is also intended to consider whether the right to request flexible working under this Part be extended to all employees.
