- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021: Pre-Committee Stage Scrutiny (14 May 2024)
Ms Carol Baxter: I thank the committee for inviting the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to its pre-Committee Stage scrutiny of the Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021, sponsored by Deputies Cronin and O’Reilly. I would like firstly to offer our sincere condolences to parents whose children have died and to acknowledge the tragedy that...

Réada Cronin: The Bill does not really relate to pregnancy loss. I was thinking of children who were born up to the age of 18. I know there is legislation to cover maternity leave in the event of pregnancy loss. Senator Clonan's baby was different. His baby died during birth, which is horrendous. If there was any help I could give, I would be very interested in that. My understanding is that someone...

Ms Caroline Smith: Martin and I thank the Cathaoirleach and committee members for the opportunity to participate in this discussion on such an important matter. Martin and I are parents to four children: three girls who live at home with us and one little boy who lives in our hearts and memories. Stephen was born in October 2015. He had passed away in utero the day before he was born....

Tom Clonan: I thank Martin and Caroline very much for coming here today. I thank them for sharing their story of their beautiful boy Stephen. I thank Nina for her contribution and a couple of things that were said really struck me. In the earlier session, I spoke about our loss. We had five children, one of whom had a cord accident at birth and passed away. As I said this morning, she would have been...

Ms Nina Doyle: Féileacáin’s members are bereaved parents. I am here today as a bereaved parent as well – a proud parent to Liam and Grace. One of the things that strikes me is that mothers become entitled to maternity leave when their children are born at 24 weeks or weigh 500 g. In Féileacáin, it is not uncommon for parents who do not need the full...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021: Pre-Committee Stage Scrutiny (14 May 2024)
Tom Clonan: Coming here and speaking in the way we have is painful. Sometimes, after a conversation like this, you can find yourself back in a place or be stuck in a moment that you cannot get out of for a day or two or an hour or two, but the work the witnesses do at Féileacáin is such a huge public service. A lot of people are just afraid to talk about it and they do not know what to say....
