My Department is committed to providing all appropriate and necessary supports to facilitate breastfeeding breaks for staff in the workplace. Such supports include access to suitable accommodation facilities and flexibility around their start and end of work times each day. My Department will continue to implement all guidelines and support measures, which are notified to my Department periodically by Civil Service Human Resources Unit in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, for the benefit of relevant staff.
