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

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I support the Minister on this point. It is found in other legislation and in general legal terms " in loco parentis " means anyone who is in the position of the parent. It does not just apply to foster carers. It applies to anyone stepping into that position.
