As Government formation talks are set to continue, we need a clear commitment to transition to a public system of early childhood education and care. This public system must guarantee a place for every child, no matter their background. #TogetherforPublic lght.ly/age2epo

Government formation talks are discussing childcare. That the top 10 childcare providers generated nearly €60 million in profits over the last five years should help focus those talks. Public provision of childcare should be the policy that emerges. tinyurl.com/3carj7zm

Huge support for the workers, children and parents left in limbo at Rainbow Community Playschool in Stoneybatter. We call on Kent Community to rescind their decision and enter into negotiations and dialogue with SIPTU and with parents reps without delay.

📢 The message on the streets of Dublin today was loud and clear the Government must live up to its commitment to the people of Ireland and Palestine by enacting the Occupied Territories Bill immediately. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

On #MayDay we joined #TogetherForPublic to demand a new model of Early Years where the state funds wages, just like schools. This would support workers, providers and quality for children. This makes sense for everyone. Let’s make it happen!
