Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-01
============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Amendment No. 19 refers to the definition of " in loco parentis ", previously discussed in amendment No. 1. This amendment seeks to remove the phrase " in loco parentis " and replace it with "providing parental care" in the definition of dependent person in proposed section 13AA relating to domestic violence leave. The reason we have sought this amendment is to ensure that the provisions relating to domestic violence leave would apply to foster parents who may need access to the support provided here, particularly in respect of relocation.
