The legislation which governs eligibility to Parental Leave is set out in the Parental Leave Act, 1998 and the Parental Leave (Amendment) Act, 2006. The Department responsible for the preparation and enactment of legislation in relation to Parental Leave is the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform. As the proposals made in your question represent significant changes to the existing statutory provisions, I would suggest that it would be appropriate for you to take the matter up with the aforementioned Department.
