Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
861. Deputy Colm Brophy asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her Department has identified laws which are dependent on or in place as a consequence of Article 41.2 of the Constitution; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30099/18]
View answerThe aim of my Department is to promote active participation in society through the provision of income supports, employment services and other services to all citizens.
Article 41.2 of the Constitution is concerned with the recognition of the role and duties of women and mothers in the home. While this Department provides a range of welfare supports to parents, including mothers, no specific laws have been identified which are wholly dependent on, or were enacted as a direct consequence of, Article 41.2.
