The Government has been criticised for failing to support a bill to introduce leave for those who experience miscarriage or are going through IVF.

The Coalition has delayed by a year a bill that aims to provide leave for the 14,000 women in Ireland who experience pregnancy loss each year and the one in six couples who face fertility issues.
