Adoptive Leave Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Report Stage.
7:00 pm
Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
I wish to clarify for Deputy English that we do not have paternity leave in this country but we have a paternal leave Bill which is being passed and the impact of which will be put into practice in the coming months. Adopting fathers will then be allowed to take paternal leave any time after the placement of the adoptedchild.
