If your baby has died any time after the 24th week of pregnancy (i.e. from the beginning of the 25th week) and you are entitled to paternity leave, you are entitled to 2 weeks Paternity Benefit provided you satisfy the social insurance (PRSI) requirements.

You need to send a letter from your doctor with the Paternity Benefit application form, confirming the expected date of birth, the actual date of birth and the number of weeks of pregnancy.

The leave must still be certified by your employer or self-certified if you are self-employed.
