Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Roderic O'Gorman (Dublin West, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
This Bill uses the language of the Parental Leave Act. The amendment seeks to replace the words "ceases to have that disability or long-term illness or any other disability or long-term illness". The Bill includes a reference to "disability" and "long-term illness", whereas the language the Deputy seeks to substitute refers only to recovering from "long-term illness" and does not refer to disability. Was it the Deputy's intention to exclude "disability"?
