Social Welfare Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-22
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I acknowledge that. The broader point we made in our pre-budget submission for the past three years is that there should be parental bereavement leave for parents who lose a child under the age of 18 and it should consist of two weeks' pay. We think it has tremendous merit and we ask the officials and whoever comes after the Minister to consider this strongly as a proposal.
