Joanna Tuffy
Question:708. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Ireland is lagging behind many other EU countries in terms of recognising and supporting the role of fathers in parenting; if he will follow the lead of other countries by introducing paternity leave starting with a provision similar to that recently introduced in the UK that allows paternity leave as part of a shared leave arrangement between mothers and fathers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
