The purpose of the roundtable is to foster a meaningful dialogue on Ireland’s implementation of the EU Work-Life Balance Directive (WLBD), exploring it through the lens of Irish history, culture, and the politics of gender and caregiving. The event will open with a brief presentation of a policy report on Ireland's compliance with the EU WLBD, followed by a panel discussion.The panel will feature Pauline Cullen (Associate Professor of Sociology, Maynooth University), Alice-Mary Higgins (Senator, Seanad Éireann), Laura Bambrick (Head of Social Policy & Employment Affairs, ICTU), and Donal Swan (Women's Economic Equality Co-Ordinator, NWC).
