I am also asking this question on behalf of Deputy Leddin. There has been huge progress in the amount of family leave that is available and things like work-life balance, in particular working from home. I think of the difference between when I had my first young fella versus my third. I had three days leave for the first. By the time it rolled around to the third fella, it was two weeks' leave. That made a difference to me for sure but it made an enormous difference to my partner. For the full two weeks and whatever few days I had accrued, I could pitch in and help out in terms of all of the other bits and pieces that needed to be done around the house. There is huge progress and I ask the Minister to outline it.
