Dee-Dee-Mauwe on 21.01.2026 11:44 a.m. No word on this from Minister for Children Norma Foley still hiding from the media after the TUSLA disasters?
Marzipan_civil on 21.01.2026 11:58 a.m. This government plan to build creches – who is going to run them? It’s not necessarily the buildings that are lacking, it’s the running costs
circuitocorto on 21.01.2026 12:19 p.m. > 977 early years childcare services have closed since 2019. While 579 new services opened during that time. Headline a little misleading with the numbers although overall there was a decrease of about 400 services.
lemurosity on 21.01.2026 12:27 p.m. there’s a good bit of consolidation in private services as well. do those count as ‚closures‘ i wonder?
