Parental Leave
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

Perhaps that might be something the Minister may examine because it would be a very small number of parents. With regard to parent's leave and benefit, the child should get the same level of time with their parent, whether it is one parent or two. That is an anomaly that would be worth looking at.
It would be a small number of people but it is important.
