Brian Leddin (Limerick City, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I thank our guests, the organisations and their members for grappling with what must have been very difficult circumstances in recent months. We in the Oireachtas owe them a debt of gratitude, as do the Irish public.

I would like to hear the witnesses' positions on the issue of leave provisions and whether Covid-19 quarantine periods will be counted against sick leave entitlements in following years. Perhaps Mr. Boyle and Mr. Christie will give me their thoughts on that.
