FOOD FOR THOUGHT! Many childcare professionals feel powerless to do anything about the crisis that the governments chronic under-funding and state sponsored exploitation of practitioners has caused. BUT we shouldn't underestimate our collective strength. If all childcare services were to close, we would shut down the country. We are the profession all professionals and industries rely on - Teachers, Gardai, civil servants, public transport, construction ....... and even TD's/ Government Ministers themselves.
