Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

-----to reconsider whether taking action that would effectively withdraw childcare supports for three days next week should go ahead. I can state that for all three parties in government and certainly for the Minister, childcare is a big priority in the build up to this budget. Last year, there was a significant increase in funding for childcare. I suspect this budget will also prioritise childcare so I can promise the Deputy that the industry has the attention of the Government here. We want to hear what providers have to say-----
