Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD Don’t you just love Pobal. We are closed this week which they know, and we get a notification that one of our graduates has qualifications not on the approved list. All three of our graduates were approved last year. More unnecessary admin crap

sharononeill Roderic O’Gorman TD I think it is obvious the minister has little interest in ECEC Education, reducing payments for graduates from €247.50 for a 22 child class last year to €66.60 in that same class this year. Only paying lip service to education and quality. Pack them in and get parents working

Early Years Professional Ireland Announcement today regarding my wife’s small rural Montessori School. She’s inconsolable having to do this as it was always more of a vocation for her. Kidzcottage.ie

We are meeting our minister on Monday afternoon for discussion around the viability of small and medium services. We are hopeful for a good out come. Minister we can only hope you are not going to waste our time and that you will put real solutions on the table. Roderic O’Gorman TD

Green Party Ireland Roderic O’Gorman TD Government decided to fund childcare. GOV ONLY GIVE WHAT WE WOULD EARN ANYWAY if we had stayed away from schemes. YOU SPIN the truth so much I don’t you how you can keep up. Private fees 10 years ago were more than schemes pay today. PROVIDERS did the work not YOU. US! US! US!

Green Party Ireland Roderic O’Gorman TD What about ECCE only services that currently have zero cost to parents? They will be non existent in a few years if you don’t start to properly fund them. A lot of parents are not going to be happy with the disappearance of their free preschools

Green Party Ireland Roderic O’Gorman TD I notice you once AGAIN never mentioned the providers here. What about this small rural preschool that are full for years to come but are NOT Viable. We can't exist on fresh air.......

@clodaghburke6 Roderic O’Gorman TD The Nationalist So sad to hear this, its completely unacceptable

@MaryMag86999606 Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD mmcgrathtd The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Peadar Tóibín TD His experts will report back next September when it is too late for hundreds of services. He will say it is a business decision to close and nothing to do with funding, as he has no evidence there is a funding shortfall. Blah, Blah, Blah

Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers Roderic O’Gorman TD mmcgrathtd The Federation of Early Childhood Providers Peadar Tóibín TD There is definitely a shortfall for December because Roderic O’Gorman TD has decided to withhold funding for December!!! Leaving Services who signed up to his core funding, having to decide between bills or wages!! He is a disgrace of a minister
