lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the pregnant mother and her unborn child, mothers who have recently given birth and breastfeeding mothers need as much support as possible during this very important period, which is important not only to the individual mother and child but also to society, remembering the low birth rate and ageing population in Europe today. Certainly companies have social responsibilities. But surely governments should set an example, especially in those countries like my own where the role of mother and the family is protected in the constitution. Unfortunately this does not appear to be the case in Ireland regarding paid maternity leave, facilities for breastfeeding and exemption from night shifts. I give these examples to highlight the fact that just because a directive has been agreed it does not mean it has been implemented. It is high time we stopped paying lip service to working mothers, their children and their families in our European Community."@en1
