Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 May 2012
121 Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to transpose Council Directive 2010/18/EU; and if he has brought proposals to Cabinet, Council Directive 2010/18/EU as part of his responsibility under the National Women’s Strategy. [22688/12]
View answerMy Department has completed work on draft Heads of a Bill to transpose Council Directive 2010/18/EU and to consolidate all the various family leave legislation (maternity, paternal, adoptive and carer's leave) in one Bill. The draft Heads are currently under discussion with relevant Departments in relation to technical issues (e.g. updating references to other legislation) and I expect that I will be in a position to bring my proposals formally to Government shortly.
