Dail Éireann — 2024-01-31
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

The amendments in grouping 9 are ministerial and are technical in nature. They are necessary to update collective citations for other Acts mentioned in sections 155 and 165 of the Bill. References to the Maternity Protection Acts 1994 and 2004 will now become references to the Maternity Protection Acts 1994 to 2022. This is on foot of the provisions of the Local Government (Maternity Protection and Other Measures for Members of Local Authorities) Act 2022. References to the Parental Leave Acts 1998 to 2019 will now also become references to the Parental Leave Acts 1998 to 2022 on foot of the provisions of the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023.
