The South West Ward Labour councillor is seeking city council support for a new model that the government could trial in Cork
A Cork City Council councillor has called for a publicly funded childcare model, based on existing services, to be piloted in the city to address a "perfect storm” brewing in childcare.
Ciara O’Connor says the “dire shortage” of pre-school and early years cover for working parents shows a “desperate need” for State intervention.
