@itisSJ Hi Sarah. As far as we are aware the additional 3 weeks can be taken but only after April. We are trying to engage with the department to see if they can bring that forward.

@matleave2020 Has it been confirmed that the additonal 3 weeks parents leave can be taken by those who have had a baby since Nov 2019? I know this was promised to help parents on mat leave in lockdown, but I cannot see the official eligibility criteria. Thanks

@HHumphreysFG @ESRIDublin Hi Minister, we appreciate the three week increase of parents leave announced in #budget2021 but not being able to take it until April is of little benefit for parents of babies born during lockdown, who can't access childcare for under 1s. Will you please reconsider this date?

Thank you so much @WhitmoreJen for raising the issue of parental leave with @LeoVaradkar. Please @HHumphreysFG, bring forward the three week extension, April is too late for our families twitter.com/WhitmoreJen/st…

I asked the Tanaiste to bring forward the 3 weeks extra #ParentsBenefit to January (rather than make parents wait until April to avail of it) He agreed to talk to Min Humphreys about it. You could too by emailing heather.humphreys@oir.ie & asking her to #BringItForward !

National Women’s Council: "It is extraordinary to see no additional investment into Early Years Education and Afterschool Care when the costs of childcare are amongst the highest in the EU and investment is at such a low level" irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4006…

@rodericogorman You have not listened to us at all Minister. 3 weeks parents leave but not being able to take it until April does NOT help families who had babies during lockdown and who can't get creche places for under 1s. Please reconsider this time frame, it's the least you can do

A tough year for everyone, but in #Budget2021 I wanted to ensure that the most vulnerable are protected and supported. This Budget will see an extra €61m for Tusla, supporting kids in care, domestic violence services, & family resources centres.

@JRuanaidh Hi Jenny. We are trying to get clarification. It seems it has been granted but not until April 2021, which doesn't really help our parents. We had been told that it was to be extended for the 1st 2 years of a child's life but that's also not clear from today. @rodericogorman
