Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

When will the Adoptive Leave Bill and Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill, which have been before the House for the past two years, be enacted? When will we see the legislation to implement the additional maternity leave announced in the budget last week? Will the Taoiseach facilitate the introduction of such legislation at an early date in order that parents who have children prior to 1 March can avail of the measure?
