Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD on Maternity Leave Arrangements for Minister Helen McEntee TD, Dáil Eireann
Check Against Delivery
I would like to congratulate Minister Helen McEntee and her husband Paul on the news that they are expecting their first child next May.
It is a very special time in their life and they have all our best wishes.
Minister McEntee and I agree that she should of course be entitled to access the same full period of 6 months maternity leave as any other public servant.
Like any other woman, she should be afforded every opportunity to continue in her role and to pursue her career, in accordance with her own wishes.
