Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-16
============================================================

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

One of the challenges facing the Government is achieving a step change in early childhood policy. The current policy is hampering children and frustrating parents and many providers and staff. Does the Tánaiste envisage there being some initiatives in budget 2022? More importantly, when will we see the childhood service development agency and the beginning of recognition in city and county planning of the needs of early childhood? When will we see public assets being more widely available to fill gaps in early childhood services?
