@FederationEarly. All of our members will continue to say no to this chart of accounts. There must be a transitioning period. Training must be given We will not be shopping around for new accountants to do this work. We are happy with the accountants we have @isme_ie

rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/11… I did an interview today regarding fees etc. Please have a listen at around 1.06 mins in. Have you say. We have to stop this negativity towards our sector. We must unite and say we have all had enough

We keep telling our minister and the Department that there is a huge issue with the funding. But sure let’s open up state lead services. That will fix everything.

I am also joined by leading journalist @EamonnMallie for a discussion of other health care victims of the Troubles, especially Marie Wilson, the young nurse who was killed in the 1987 Enniskillen Bombing. Three serving or retired nurses died that day.

Ken I am more than happy to have a chat with you regarding Childcare. Children being failed through Aim support. Parents, providers and staff need you to address the real issues on the ground. We have been lobbing long enough to know a full review of the whole system is needed

If we could stop the closure of small and medium services then maybe parents would have no issue finding a place for their children. We have been saying this for years. STOP the CLOSURES NOW @DeptCDE
When policy ignores services & focuses solely on fees & and staffing, you get this! NO SERVICES #failedpolicy Time to pay services fairly Increase Ecce rates & Co. average should be for everyone. STOP discriminating older services! #FECP @MurphyDunne facebook.com/share/p/1BjrXLr…

This year will see the highest closures in many years. It’s a disgrace all saying the same this Funding, burnout stress. Something needs to happen. We are hearing government say in budget this year spaces will be created. Stop the closures that would be a good start @DeptCDE
Preschool services closing across the country mullingar, Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Kildare just as predicted @MurphyDunne too many photos to post. MADNESS insufficient spaces yet zero help to keep services afloat @MarkWall1 @DeptCDE @MichealMartinTD
