254 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform if he intends to introduce legislation to allow for paternity leave; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Arising from the Programme for a Partnership Government, I am committed to an examination of the question of paternity leave. The examination will have regard to recommendations in this area made in the report to Government by the Second Commission on the Status of Women.
