Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Again, this is a fairly straightforward question. It is to ask if the Tánaiste is aware of the Organisation of Working Time (Amendment) (Carryover of Annual Leave) (Covid-19) Bill 2020 introduced in November. It seeks to allow workers carry over untaken annual leave and to give them a legal right to be able to do that. This is leave accrued as a result of Covid-19. I am aware that in some instances leave can be cashed in and they can take the money but after the year those on the front line in particular have had, I believe this capacity to carryover their annual leave and take it at a time when we can be more freer would be very beneficial.
