		Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Labour if he will consider introducing legislation which would require all employers to grant unpaid leave of absence to employees elected to either of the Houses of the Oireachtas; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

		Proinsias De Rossa: I have no wish to refer specifically to the case which affects my party colleagues, but in view of the fact that it has occurred, surely some provision should be made to prevent it happening to anybody else in future.
