Sinn Féin TD Pa Daly was contacted by a Kerry healthcare worker who was denied bereavement leave following the stillbirth of her son at 20 weeks. Deputy Daly tells Jerry that he believes the policy needs to change.
The woman was told she wasn't entitled to bereavement leave after burying her son because her pregnancy didn't make it to 24 weeks. She was forced to use her annual leave instead.
