Dara Calleary: The introduction of statutory sick leave marked a key policy development for this country. It was introduced by this Government. For the first time, employees have a statutory right to employer-paid sick leave. That was done without us having carried out any comprehensive analysis of the sick pay landscape in the country. The data being collected now will be valuable in bridging the gaps...

The person made an application for a disability allowance, which takes forever of course, as we all know. In the...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Employment Rights (10 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I want to discuss the importance of sick leave. I genuinely thought I had done a good job convincing the Government how important sick leave is, but after reading the budget, it turns out that I have a little more work to do. During the pandemic, we spent hours discussing the importance of sick leave and of workers being able to safely and affordably stay out of work when they were not...

It reduces...
