Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-16

Patricia Ryan (SF), Kildare South

What will the Government do about the mass closure of indoor play areas? What is happening appears to be due to insurance costs. Can the Government intervene to help commercial operators or will it instruct local authorities to step into the breach, either directly or through social enterprises? These are important facilities in a country like Ireland because the weather here is unpredictable. They are important not just for children, but for the parents who are otherwise isolated.
