If the Minister is working on this I might add that I brought forward a Private Member's Bill on bereavement leave for parents.

We all know the death of a family member is awful, but in the case of the death of a child, there is nothing quite like it. I know there are Oireachtas Members who have been affected by the death of a child. The Bill I brought forward with Deputy Louise O'Reilly provided for at least ten days' leave after the death of a child. Perhaps the Minister could look at that.
