Tairgim leasú a 3:
In Part 1, page 6, to delete lines 5 to 8 and substitute the following:
“Admhaíonn an Stát, go sonrach, go dtugann mná agus cúramóirí teaghlaigh, a thugann cúram sa teaghlach, taca don Stát nach bhféadfaí leas an phobail a ghnóthú dá éagmais.
Déanfaidh an Stát a chur in áirithe nach mbeidh ar mháithreacha ná ar chúramóirí teaghlaigh, de dheasca uireasa, dul le saothar lasmuigh den teaghlach agus beidh ar an Stát tacú lena ndualgais chúraim.”,
I move amendment No. 3:
In Part 2, page 6, to delete lines 12 to 14 and substitute the following:
“In particular, the State recognises that women and family carers who provide care in the home give to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.
