Services are opening today with very low numbers of staff. We ask parents to bare with us at this time. This is all beyond our control. We have to insure health safety and well-being this is paramount . @NPCpp @Parents_Plus @padraiclee2010 @FederationEarly @rodericogorman

A great result but there is a big backstory that isn't reflected here. It was the parents who made it happen. Well done to all involved! Next stop, publicly funded childcare...

If this isn’t a good enough reason to demand international ban on live exporting of farm animals & the unimaginable cruelty it entails, I honestly don’t know what is.

It’s 2020, there is no maternity leave for politicians and everyone is scratching their head, wondering why there isn’t a better gender balance in Irish politics 🤔 #MoreMná

What is Work? Nancy Folbre shows how nearly half of all work done is ignored by economists. She argues that we need to create better measures of non-market income, consumption and investment. @ineteconomics https://t.co/2Ech4zp82k

The usual post natal services are not available - public health nurse, breast feeding groups and other support new Mams have, alongside new Mams sometimes having no time alone with their babies. We need to extend maternity leave temporarily for 3 months @OrlaNWCI @morningireland

“Ireland has a long and sorry history that illustrates what can happen when meeting children’s needs is not seen as a priority.” https://t.co/MH9jZiufj0

How can the future of the Dept of Children and Youth Affairs as a standalone dept be up for grabs at this moment when children are undergoing huge collective trauma - vulnerable children most of all? #TheDCYAMustStay because it’s needed now more than ever

Former Supreme Court Judge Catherine McGuinness “if there isn’t a Minister at the Cabinet table, there is a less strong voice for childcare. Childcare is a matter that needs a lot of reform.” @morningireland

“The National Women’s Council has said that “we’ve seen during the crisis what an essential public service childcare is”, but said that it’s also “one that’s being ignored”. https://t.co/btYifomMAE

The housing and homeless crisis is a women's issue, it's a feminist issue. We have one of the highest rates of women homelessness in Europe #RemakingIreland
