Jennifer Whitmore: I also welcome this legislation and commend the Minister on bringing it to this point. I hope we will get it through all the processes. It seems the Minister is determined to do so and that is welcome. This is a very important Bill to close all the gaps we have seen in legislation relating to maternity leave in recent years. The provision on illness is particularly important. The...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)

Jennifer Whitmore: I am delighted to hear that because it is really important. With regard to maternity leave for Oireachtas Members that is also very welcome and something we have been waiting a long time for. To date we have expected women either not to serve as politicians or to hide when they get pregnant and not go back to work. We made it very difficult for them. Enabling this is something I hope...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Jennifer Whitmore: I just wanted to state that. I want to talk about the INTO survey results. These are really worrying.

Jennifer Whitmore: I am glad to hear that the Minister will be raising it and trying to push it through with the European element of it. Was it a gap in the Paris Agreement that military emissions were not accounted for, considering the huge amount of emissions derived from military activities and in particular from countries such as the US and Israel?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (23 Oct 2024)
