Together for Public - time for publicly funded early years' education - The Labour Party
Labour Party Spokesperson for Children Mark Wall TD has today expressed full support for the Together for Public Alliance protest that took place today outside Leinster House
Deputy Wall said:
“The Labour Party has been leading the charge on developing a publicly funded model of early years education and school age childcare.
“We fully support the Together for Public alliance of organisations and their continued push for publicly funded childcare, better pay and conditions for staff and providers and reducing costs for families.
“Working families are paying a second mortgage in childcare fees. Small and medium sized providers are barely breaking even, and staff are leaving the sector every day. The government must give clarity to parents and providers by outlining a roadmap for a publicly funded model of childcare.”
