Equal Status (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage
1:45 pm
Caít Keane (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I am talking about equality. The explanatory memorandum and the Bill mention this amendment does not apply to employment. I am putting on the agenda that it should apply to employment. I also point out that because of our bureaucrats in Europe, probably mostly men, the legislation does not apply to all aspects of being a woman. Just because a man cannot have a baby, does not mean women should be discriminated against in the workforce.
