Childcare strike: ‘We won’t give up – it’s about the children’ | Independent.ie independent.ie/irish-news/chi…

📚INVEST IN CHILDHOOD PROVIDERS 📚 Hundreds of early childhood providers are protesting the lack of investment in the sector today that has made the sector unviable for future generations whilst the Minister for Children does nothing. Aontú stands by the FECP and hard working

Minister Roderic O'Gorman is closing down Early Years Education & Childcare facilities across the country. Its a bit rich for a Minister on €183,000 to say that providers on the minimum wage should not be stricking. This Minister is not doing his job and should resign.

No wonder I’m cross looking. #Childcare providers in their 1,000’s outside Leinster House ignored by Min O Gorman. Small/medium sized providers closing because the funding model is broken. #FairFunding needed to maintain this vibrant, valuable model ⁦⁦⁦The Federation of Early Childhood Providers

If Roderic O’Gorman can’t keep childcare open, he should resign. #aontu

Please break down where this money has gone ???? Nothing to ECCE ?? Higher Capitation gone. PSP gone . Fee's frozen !!!!!

Clever Cloggs A fabulous turnout, hopefully it might wake them up. P Toibin was tremendous. The passion in his speech was clear to hear and see..

Brendan Byrne Emma Behan They demand our itemised accounts so they can know where every cent of government money is spent. As we are supposed to be in a “Partnership” it would not be unreasonable for the DCEDIY to produce the same itemised accounts showing us where taxpayer’s money is being spent by them

Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers @MartinaKing1 The Week in Politics Roderic O’Gorman TD Aine Lawlor RTÉ News RTÉ One We need a full detailed breakdown of where the funding is going, similar to what they are demanding of providers. If this was a real partnership there would be no problem getting this information. Unfortunately we are in a dictatorship agreement we were blackmailed into signing.

Very well written 👏👏👏

A great read !

Roderic O’Gorman TD The increase in funding is certainly welcome but the system's administration needs to be completely overhauled if it is to be a help rather than a hindrance. Policing child attendance because someone might pay €3 to 'steal' €1 from the state is nonsense. thecurrency.news/articles/13043…

so, to summarise: 1) the ceremony was held during a women's intl window so most nominees couldn't attend 2) the women who WERE there got blanked by a male performer 3) there's no women's equivalent of the Yashin trophy 3) the biggest award was presented by a dude from... tennis?

If that was the men's match.....100% would have been back on rte 2. Shocking it wasn't!!!!! Well done girls. 👏 #OUTBELIEVE 🇮🇪
