Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

I am not in a position to provide an update on the progress of the Bill referred to by the Deputy which is a Private Members Bill on Parental Leave. The Deputy is advised that policy for Parental Leave is the responsibility of my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality.
