Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-29
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

A new subsection 13H inserts a review clause for the provisions under the new Part IIA of the Parental Leave Act 1998. These amendments make it explicit in the legislation that the review will include a consideration of whether the right to request flexible working should be extended to all employees. This has always been the intention in bringing forward these proposals but the provision will ensure that this a requirement of the review. I recommend that these amendments be accepted.
