Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-29
============================================================

Damien English (FG), Meath West

I hope the Senator’s son is better. I hope he is not still sick. To be very clear on this - there is no sick pay legislation in place at the moment. There is no statutory sick pay scheme. I ask the Senator to perhaps acknowledge that we are improving the situation. It is not the case that there is no financial gain and there is only a loss on the first day. That is not true.
