Introducing a funding model that was not ready, not tested & was not responsive to the end users needs was a big mistake. Further compounded by lack of engagement and an iron fist approach that said ‘my way or the highway’. The partnership never materialised unfortunately.

@MaryMag86999606 Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD Peadar O' Buaigh Not too many providers willing to keep subsidising Roderic O’Gorman TD ‘s childcare schemes while he kicks the can down the road, and waits for his ECCE review to be completed. He only needed to talk to the people on the ground, but he treats us like something he stepped in.

Micheál Martin Peadar Tóibín TD Mark Wall TD Kathleen Funchion SF @Seán Ó Fearghaíl TD Réada Cronin TD 🇮🇪🇵🇸 is anyone going to question Roderic O’Gorman TD why this is OK. Waiting lists as long as our arms yet services closing 🤦

Has anyone seen this man Roderic O’Gorman TD? What is he doing about the #TuslaCoverUp? This man isn't fit for the job. He has no children and supports a sick and dangerous ideology. He needs to #Resign. 145 children are living in emergency care accommodation which could be bnbs

Kathleen Funchion SF Minister Roderic O’Gorman TD cancelled a crucial meeting with Childcare Providers and worried parents about the looming crisis. Because they wanted to bring 6 people instead of 4…? Lack of space? Lack of time? Lack of interest? We are losing sleep over lack of funds.

Roderic O’Gorman TD ... you chose to load the final straw. Don't expect this not to backfire on you, bigtime.

We all know so many children in our sector cannot get services and we have become the middle man supporting parents and children through this process. We need more supports on the ground. The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Leo Varadkar

And this is all going to crumble parental choice is gone. Funding is failing us all including parents children @VOPIRELAND Parents & School Staff Ireland Parents for Change Parents Plus Peadar Tóibín TD Jennifer Whitmore TD Pádraig O'Sullivan TD Brid Smith The Federation of Early Childhood Providers

Catherine Doyle Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers @VOPIRELAND Parents & School Staff Ireland Parents for Change Parents Plus Peadar Tóibín TD Jennifer Whitmore TD Pádraig O'Sullivan TD Brid Smith The Federation of Early Childhood Providers I think the mistake is in believing that the government actually cares about women and children. I see precious little evidence of it really.

Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers @VOPIRELAND Parents & School Staff Ireland Parents for Change Parents Plus Peadar Tóibín TD Jennifer Whitmore TD Pádraig O'Sullivan TD Brid Smith The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael were so determined to form a Government that they sold out the country to the Green Party. We now have a Green minister so far out of his depth in the department of children, he will not even meet the providers whose businesses are being destroyed by him

Micheál Martin Less will reach their potential in the future. The Children’s minister is destroying the childcare industry, funding Daycare for children rather than Early Years Education. Parental choice removed as services are left unviable through DCEDIY underfunding. ECCE only places scarce.

Over 700 childcare jobs advertised on one website most hiring multiple posts, you almost think the sector is at crisis point, when will Roderic O’Gorman TD be made accountable for the pathetic core funding model based on a pathetic ERO rolled out last year . The sector has lost faith

Large service in Cork gave notice to parents yesterday of closing. 85 families with no where to go. One of the main reasons FUNDING. You cannot continue to deny closures. This is going to have a huge impact on parents and children.Roderic O’Gorman TD @dcediy The Federation of Early Childhood Providers
