Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

Now that the Government has discovered that child care is a difficulty, does it intend to introduce the Parental Leave Bill in the coming year? The legislation seems to have stalled somewhere in cyberspace. This is a time-related Bill and if the cut-off time is reached, some parents will not be able to avail of its provisions. The Bill is vitally important if we are serious about introducing family-friendly legislation.
