Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-15
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 26:
In page 14, line 27, after “certificate” where it firstly occurs to insert “, care order, voluntary care agreement”.
Amendment No. 26 seeks to ensure that care orders and voluntary care arrangements are included as documentation that may be used as part of a request for a flexible work arrangement. This is to ensure that foster parents are able to submit such requests even if they do not have access to a child's birth certificate.
