Maternity Protection (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
I welcome the effect of debate on legislation in this House, which is the reason we are all here, particularly the parental leave legislation which was passed by this House. It was the input and suggestions of the female Members of the House that made a significant difference in terms of the practical issues. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy O'Dea, and the Minister of State, Deputy Tim O'Malley, who is substituting for him today.
