Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Parental Leave (17 May 2022)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the Minister. I welcomed last year's extension of parent's leave and benefit to all eligible parents of children born or adopted after 1 November 2019.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Payments (17 May 2022)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I agree with the previous speakers. I am concerned that the figures the Minister has given for exceptional needs payments are extremely low.
