Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Chair and all the members of the committee secretariat for the work that has gone into the session today. I particularly thank our witnesses. I want to say a particular word of thanks to Ms Mulholland because she has outlined in very stark detail the picture of a woman that I could nearly relate to myself. We were all nodding along in recognition of the obstacles around people...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: My next question is for Ms Graham and Ms Mulholland. It is more around the current impact of not having any access to paid leave for victims and survivors. Is it their experience that women - and I will say women because it is mostly women but not only women - have lost their jobs? Have they found themselves in that situation because they could not access leave? It is important to put it...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: If there is time, I have one more question. The question is addressed first to Ms Benson, and then to the other witnesses. We have more or less covered this issue, but I want to be belt and braces about it. Are the witnesses happy and satisfied that enough consultation has been done? We could say that there is never enough consultation. We could be doing it for the rest of our lives. At...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: In my opinion, it is unlikely that anything will emerge at this stage. I feel that there is a lot of research and evidence in the public domain already. I am not saying that we should draw a line under it and stop learning, as every day is a school day for everyone, but perhaps we are in a position to state we know enough now to move forward. I am conscious that I have taken up a lot of...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I know I am not a witness but the intention is that it would be taken in the normal way, so that an employee could take a half day's leave or a quarter day's leave. That is why the Bill is an amendment to the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Everything has to be done in consultation but it is housed within the Organisation of Working Time Act because it will operate in a similar way...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I do not believe there is a need to do so but that does not mean I would be hostile to putting it in. I absolutely would include it if people felt it was necessary. It is already very much implicitly there in the Organisation of Working Time Act. That is how leave operates, in any event, which is why it is there. Employees do not have to take ten days' leave in a block when they might be...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Apr 2022)
