MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES
Robin had to take leave from work to look after a close family member when they became seriously ill. She is wondering what her rights are in relation to this. She is also wondering what her rights would be if she was sick herself.
An employee can take up to 5 days unpaid leave in any 12 month period to deal with serious medical care for a child or other family member. This applies from 3rd July 2023. It is unpaid leave to provide personal care and attention and support. The persons that one can take the leave for includes a parent/grandparent, spouse/civil partner, cohabitant, brother/sister or a person residing in one’s household and they must be in need of significant care and support. for a serious medical reason. It must be one or more days. The employee should apply for the leave on a form explaining the circumstances arising. The employer should acknowledge receipt of the application and keep records of the leave. Any dispute can be referred to the Workplace Relations Commission.
The Sick Leave Act, 2022 provides for a statutory sick pay scheme for all employees. For 2023 the entitlement was 3 days paid sick leave.
From 1 January 2024 the entitlement is 5 days paid sick leave. It is proposed that the entitlement will increase to 7 days for 2025 and to 10 days for 2026. While on sick leave the employees are entitled to 70% of their usual daily earnings up to a maximum €110 a day. The sick leave must be certified. To qualify a person must have been employed for at least 13 weeks. It can include full-time and part-time employees. If the sick leave is unused by year end it cannot travel over to the next week. The statutory requirement does not apply if the employer provides a better sick leave rights as part of an employment contract. If the employer is in financial difficulty they might get an exemption from sick leave pay.
In relation to extreme weather events it is a matter of agreement between the employee and employer that the employee could take annual leave in lieu of working or unpaid leave. If extreme weather closes down a workplace the employer might look at sending employees off on layoff.

Rally star Aoife Raftery
to inspire Munster Technological University students in Tralee
Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy driver Aoife Raftery will be a special guest at Munster Technological University (MTU) in Tralee on Monday, November 4, following The Rose Hotel Kerry Winter Rally held on Sunday. The rally’s service park is set at MTU’s North Campus, which earlier this year was chosen as one of three sites for a potential World Rally Championship return to Ireland. This collaboration between MTU and Kerry Motor Club aims to bring international rallying to Tralee. Raftery, the only female driver in the
Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy, will discuss her experiences in the Junior FIA European Rally Championship, where she recently placed third in the Junior British Rally Championship element of the Cambrian Rally in Wales. This event offers MTU students a unique opportunity to learn from her expertise, spanning engineering, data analysis, and motorsport logistics.
“I’m excited to talk to the students at MTU about rallying,
from the technical side to event management,” said Raftery, whose collaboration with engineers at PCRS Rallysport and Broderick Motorsport fine-tunes her Peugeot 208 Rally4’s performance.
Her insights will resonate with students from MTU’s School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics as well as those in Business, Computing, Humanities, and Health and Social Sciences.
During her visit, Raftery will conduct a series of lunchtime talks, join a
photo session at the Kerry Sports Academy, and explore MTU’s virtual reality suite, which includes a road safety demonstrator. As a road safety ambassador, Raftery champions the “Keep the Race In Its Place” message. MTU’s External Services Manager Anne Looney welcomed the collaboration: “This is a great opportunity for our students to hear firsthand about the diverse aspects of motorsport.”
