King's Island creche closes leaving families in limbo

A creche located in the most deprived area of the country has been forced to temporarily close, just three weeks after reopening, as it did not have enough employees to cover Play Pods, introduced at early learning centres under Covid-19 requirements.
The King’s Island Community Creche is located in the heart of St Mary’s Park, which last September, according to research commissioned by Pobal, was identified as the most impoverished part of the country.
