Organisation of Working Time (Reproductive Health Related Leave) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-29
============================================================

Aisling Dolan (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

Yes, the definition. I will keep it very short. The Government is paying attention to this matter. I thank colleagues in the House for all the work done on it. It is literally about considering how we support paid leave upon a loss, particularly a pregnancy loss. The Government is looking into this. Senator Sherlock has mentioned all the work done by the Department of Health on supports for women. This is so long overdue. The Government is really stepping up and ensuring good access for women across the whole country. I am referring to access at regional level, not just services that are, as usual, based solely in the city centre. As if. I thank the Acting Chairman.
