Parents to call for affordable, public childcare in National Day of Action

Minister for Children, Roderic O’Gorman, told the Irish Examiner last month that although the department would look at cutting childcare costs, parents will not see another 25% cut in the cost of childcare in the upcoming budget. File photo

Parents across Ireland will take part in a National Day of Action to call for public, affordable childcare on Tuesday with the National Women's Council.

With Budget 2024 due on October 10, and parents struggling to find quality childcare for their children, campaigners say government must commit to providing a secure and stable start to the children of the nation.
