Minister says at the beginning of last year childcare costs were cut by an average of 25%, with a similar cut coming later this year
Parents might find it easier to secure creche places for their children from the autumn with the Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman committing to boosting capacity across Ireland’s childcare network in the months ahead.
He pointed out that at the beginning of last year childcare costs were cut by an average of 25 per cent, with a similar cut coming down the tracks later this year. “When I became Minister for Children I set out three clear aims – cut cost for parents, increase pay for childcare professionals, and have better investment for childcare services. Over the last four years we’ve had major delivery in each of those.”
