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

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

I support the amendment put forward by Senator Ruane and ask the Minister, as Senator Higgins has done, for positive engagement on these important issues. We have all been supportive of the Bill on the expansion of family leave provisions generally but the purpose of the amendment, as so eloquently expressed by Senator Ruane, really does deserve positive engagement from the Minister and his Department.
