Our Minister had 24 hours to resolve the issue with small and medium services. Let’s all hope the discussion around the table will be productive. It’s time for all services to be funded fairly. #SaveOurServices #SmallMediumProvidersMatter

@clodaghburke6 Roderic O’Gorman TD The Nationalist Roderic O’Gorman TD mmcgrathtd Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar @MlMcNamaraTD mmcgrathtd This has gone far enough. How many more quality services need to close before any of you start to listen. Core Funding is a disaster and is wiping ECCE services out. Not many will last the year.

Parents are struggling to find PT places in Dublin. Services are displacing children because CF has failed. Parents and providers on radio speaking out. It’s like a volcano ready to erupt. Department usual spin we are only hearing this from one service. The Federation of Early Childhood Providers ISME

◦Parents speaking out about lack of places. Issues with NCS,CF. Lack of places nationwide. Services closing down. Massive waiting lists. No staff to hire. Rural and urban closures in June being ignored. The volcano is erupting The Federation of Early Childhood Providers ISME This Week RTÉ Peadar Tóibín TD

Roderic O’Gorman TD Feljin Jose Blackhorse Childcare Have you visited any of the ECCE services that are closing nationwide due to lack of funding Rural Ireland is taking a huge hit. We asked you to do a review and we have had no report back as yet. You did say it would be ready in the first quarter. The Federation of Early Childhood Providers

The Federation of Early Childhood Providers are putting Feet on the Streets of Dublin on the 27th June. Protest outside Leinster House. Fee freezes are crippling services. Ecce services trapped and being dictated and stuck in fee freeze since 2010. So many services closing permanently. #feetonthestreets

The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Peadar Tóibín TD

We have support from other sectors. Closing our doors is a decision we as providers have not taken likely. Leo Varadkar Paschal Donohoe we need to resolve these issues. It is now very obvious that Roderic O’Gorman TD and @dcediy are not listening

@dcediy TUSLA data shows on a net basis the sector is shrinking in terms of number of providers. Why don't you publicise the number of temporary and permanent ROOM closures within the services that survive? Or the type of services that are closed, and their locations? Give me a break 🙄

@dcediy Hmm why services that are closed in June still listed as open on Tusla portal e.g 1st rung, brooklands, firhouse, kiddywinks twinkle stars Tricia's little Miss little Angels Tod lodge Maynooth nursery plus 37 more so your 97 +47 =144 fallen colleagues Joseph j Duffy too much spin

They are driving dedicated providers and staff out of the sector Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers The Federation of Early Childhood Providers #UNITEDWESTANDFECP #qualityECECmatters

We cannot agree to this. Its a No from the The Federation of Early Childhood Providers

Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers The Federation of Early Childhood Providers This could be the end of many small ECCE settings, the life blood of many communities throughout Ireland. What should be a simple process has been turned into a monster by the Dept. A copy of the accounts as provided to Revenue should be sufficient.

@dcediy Roderic O’Gorman TD Marc MacSharry Martin Kenny Marian Harkin Frank Feighan T.D.

So many providers have had enough of the administration burden forced on them because of department bureaucracy.We are 💯 saying no to Chart of accounts.The cost and time it will take has to be taken into consideration. NO NO NO The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD @dcediy ISME

Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD @dcediy ISME If the Department implement this latest strategy then it will signal the end for many small rural settings. Why is a certified set of accounts that are submitted and accepted by Revenue not enough. There does appear to be hidden agendas here.

The Federation of Early Childhood Providers. All of our members will continue to say no to this chart of accounts. There must be a transitioning period. Training must be given We will not be shopping around for new accountants to do this work. We are happy with the accountants we have ISME

To be clear as an ECEC (Early Year) provider the only group representing my service at the table is The Federation of Early Childhood Providers they are the only group who have consulted with members sending surveys, having group chats and meetings listening & hearing the voices on the ground @dcediy
