Family Leave Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-03-22
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I wholeheartedly support Senator Ruane and commend her on bringing forward this amendment. We agree with the proposed review of this section after 12 months as this will provide scope for the potential increasing of parental leave. This would mean both parents would be able to avail of any extension to leave in future.
