Organisation of Working Time (Leave for Health Screening Purposes) Bill 2025

What this means

• This is a private member bill introduced by TD Duncan Smith in 2025, proposing changes to working time rules around health screening leave.[source]
• The bill aims to give workers the right to take paid leave specifically to attend health screening appointments.[source]
• The bill is listed as current, meaning it is still part of the Oireachtas legislative process and has not been enacted or withdrawn.[source]
• A vote on the bill was held on 15 April 2026 and was lost, meaning the proposal was rejected at that stage by the Dail.[source]
• Because it is a private member bill, it was brought forward by an individual TD rather than by the government, making its passage more difficult.[source]
