Ireland Is Tops in EU Maternity Leave
Country Already Offers 8 More Weeks Paid Leave Than Latest EU Proposal
- EU wants a Union-wide minimum of 18 weeks of maternity leave paid at least at sick-pay level
- Besides the 26 paid weeks Ireland already offers for new mothers, maternity leave can be extended 16 more weeks without pay
- “It’s probably one of the reasons why we have a high rate of women in the workplace relative to our EU neighbours and why our birth rate is one of the highest” — a European Commission representative in Dublin
