Covid-19 (Children and Youth Affairs): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-20
============================================================

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I will be as brief as possible. My question concerns the Federation of Early Childcare Providers. Is it being consulted and is it included in the groups to be consulted on how we provide childcare in future? Has the Minister engaged with other lead Departments, such as the Department of Health, including in the context of those with disabilities, regarding more resources for children with extra needs? Has she made any attempt, right now and not just regarding childcare, to contact any other Departments and outline her plans for the future?
