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
meetings held with providers this week where we have been told many services are going to close up. It looks like the department really did not listen or understand the financial struggles of providers and now they are being forced out of business The Federation of Early Childhood Providers
Closures Dublin alone 5 in our ministers constituency 5 Kilbarrack to Donabate 5 Lucan 5 Sandyford 2 Clondalkin All closed last week. No one taking these services over. Who is going to take responsible for this fiasco. This is nationwide. Roderic O’Gorman TD
On a net basis, there are 67 fewer Early Years services open now than at the Core Funding peak in Nov 2022. It's simply not working. @dcediy Catherine Murphy Réada Cronin TD 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @BernardDurkanTD James Lawless Roderic O’Gorman TD The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Early Childhood Ireland
Womenscouncilireland Simon Harris TD Proud female entrepreneurs, i.e. owners with undignified take-home pay, don't matter? The backs our economy was built on for decades. Think you need a more nuanced view here. The 98% female-owned sector is being obliterated. Name one sector the govt. is running competently.
