Give tax relief for childcare

AS a working mother of two with crèche expenses of €1,500 per month I really think the Government should give parents who pay for childcare tax relief.

It will benefit those who are working and paying taxes. I do not believe that increasing child benefit will have any impact.

Both of my sisters stay at home as they have three children each and it would not benefit them to work - if there was a real tax incentive I know they would choose to return to work.

I am saving as much child benefit per month as I can for both my children and would like to keep saving this for their education.
