Zappone to face Dáil questions over collapse of childcare scheme for frontline workers

Children's Minister Katherine Zappone will face the Dáil on Wednesday to answer questions on the collapse of the government's proposed childcare scheme for frontline workers.

The scheme would have seen childcare workers taking care of children of frontline workers at a cost of €90 per family. However, it was cancelled late last Wednesday after only six providers signed up.
