The court's ruling was a constitutional interpretation of the Employment Equality Act. Under Article 43 of the Constitution, which deals with private property, a person in the private sector cannot be obliged to provide facilities like this if it will involve more than a nominal cost. We recognise that this provides an out for employers. They can invoke the protection of Article 43 of the Constitution. In the case of a small operation with a low general cost base, an employer could say the provision of breastfeeding facilities would incur a more than nominal cost adding significantly to that cost base. To get around this, we are providing the alternative that the employer will be obliged and compelled to give breastfeeding employees time off with full pay to breastfeed their children.
