Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2012
329. Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his Department still grants leave of absence; and if not, the reason this is not considered as a neutral cost saving exercise; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40600/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department continues to grant leave of absence in the form of Career Breaks and leave under the Shorter Working Year Scheme. Other forms of unpaid leave are also widely availed of such as Parental leave, special unpaid leave for domestic reasons and study purposes. My Department also facilitates worksharing arrangements where possible.
