Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (Deputy Darragh O'Brien)

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has no special initiatives relating to leave of the type outlined in the Question at present but my Department continues to prepare for the upcoming Presidency. The available types of leave are mandated by circulars issued by the Department for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
