Childcare Services
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Alan Farrell (FG), Dublin Fingal

Timing is everything. I would like to ask a question about the Minister's vision for budget 2025 and the further investments he proposes to reduce the cost of childcare for parents up and down the country but also in addition to the question that has been legitimately asked, and that is about public childcare funding. I am delighted to hear the Labour Party reiterate its position on that. It is one the Minister has reiterated and one I have stated over many years, including as a former Chair of the committee on children.
