As the Deputy is aware, the Government has agreed to introduce two weeks of paid parental leave to support the parents of children under one year.

Work is well advanced on the General Scheme of legislative proposals to provide for two weeks' paid parental leave. These proposals will be brought to Government for approval shortly.
