Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Mary White (Fianna Fail)
I spoke to parents at a child care centre this morning. One woman made the fascinating point which I had not thought of that it is in men's DNA to think it is women's responsibility to mind children. I looked at her and knew it was a profound statement. She was right. While things are changing and men are taking more responsibility, they are all born thinking that way.
