Childcare Services Dail Éireann — 2022-06-02 ============================================================ Pa Daly (SF), Kerry When does the Minister expect that the living wage he has mentioned will be obligatory for the childcare providers? It is encouraging that there will be less reliance on private operators because we are far too reliant on those, as with many outsourced agencies. Does the Minister believe that the consultation process and the design of policy will be completed by the end of this year or by the end of the term of the Government? --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
