To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will outline the timeframe for the implementation of the EU directive on parental leave; if he will confirm that legislation to implement said directive will be in place by 2013; if he will provide Dáil Éireann with a complete outline on what the legislation will propose; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As I have indicated previously, my Department has prepared proposals for legislation to transpose fully the revised Parental Leave Directive within the applicable timeframe. These proposals will shortly be presented to Government and form part of the Family Leave Bill which will also consolidate the existing maternity, adoptive, parental and carer's leave acts into one Act.
