Seanad To Debate Misscarriage And Fertility Leave

It would provide up to 20 days paid leave for early pregnancy loss, and up to 10 days for fertility treatments.

The Seanad will debate the Labour Party Bill for paid miscarriage and fertility treatment leave tomorrow.

It would provide up to 20 days paid leave for early pregnancy loss, and up to 10 days for fertility treatments.

It'll be discussed by the INTO and the National Women's Council of Ireland at a Labour public meeting this evening.

The party's rights spokesperson Marie Sherlock says the leave is about creating "more compassionate workplaces" for workers through what is often a "very lonely experience".
