Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Nata Duvvury:
I thank the Deputy. This is important. I would have to reflect on the precise wording that needs to be introduced. I can send suggestions.
I raised the issue of farm and household enterprise because that is still one of the issues for women's employment in Ireland. Many of the social protection and welfare schemes have failed women who are in this type of employment, given that they are not seen as working, and, therefore, we need to consider this matter and bring it under the Bill's ambit.
I will not tell members the wording right now but I will send a suggestion.
