I thank the Minister for his time. It is fantastic for the committee to have frequent engagement with him and we appreciate it. I will be brief as there are only two points I wish to raise. On the issue of work-life balance and supports for working parents, which is in the Minister's remit, I ask him to outline his priorities in this area and on the extension of parental leave and benefits. While working in collaboration with the Department of Social Protection, is there any proposed legislation in the Department in this area and, if so, when can we expect it?
