Sinn Féin bill would give 10 days' paid leave to domestic violence victims

Domestic violence cases have grown throughout the pandemic according to a number of reports.

Victims of domestic violence would be entitled to up to 10 days' paid leave under a Sinn Féin bill which will come before the Dáil this week.

The party will use its Private Members' time on Tuesday to bring forward the Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2019 which was first published last December.
