Children's Minister to comment on 'Prime Time' creche revelations

The Minister for Children Frances Fitzgerald is to make a detailed comment today on the contents of a Primetime Investigates programme broadcast on RTÉ last night which revealed widespread breaches of HSE regulations at child care centres across the country.

The documentary, "A Breach of Trust", focused on three creches in Dublin and Wicklow, showing footage of children being flung onto mattresses, manhandled, shouted and cursed at and strapped into chairs for hours at time.
