View answerWithin my department, 33 employees have applied for Parent's Leave since its introduction. 14 of these applications have been since the expansion of the scheme in 2021. Any benefit payable to staff on Parent's Leave is a matter for the Department of Social Protection and my department does not hold any records in respect of this.
