Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-01-31
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I would support even the addition of "grandchild" so that it reads "a parent or grandparent or grandchild of the employee". I would support that because I know many children who rely solely on a grandparent to give them care at any age. I would welcome the addition of "grandchild" and ask that the Minister give it consideration.
