@ThomasByrneTD @FAIreland @fiannafailparty Hopefully this funding won't be from the National Childcare Scheme pot. Early Educators are earning barely above the minimum wage. We cannot afford to dilute and divert childcare funding to fund sports clubs. Recognise, value and pay our educators fairly!!!

Bord na Móna Recycling should not be sold off but rather developed as the motor of a new public domestic waste collection service.

Our members are calling for an immediate halt to this ill-thought-out privatisation attempt. It is time to put the common good before private sector profits.

[Lynnette Monk @Earlyedmammy]

@kennymick74 @pobal @dcediy @rodericogorman Totally agree. All for TUSLA visits being unannounced, that's for safety but an admin inspection is a whole different story!

Let's not let the promise of public childcare slip through our fingers!

Sign our petition and tell the @SimonHarrisTD and his government to fix low pay in Budget 2025!

It’s time to support our dedicated early years educators and pay them properly!

Low pay has to be tackled once and for all in the Early Years Sector.

The staff turnover rate now stands at 25% per year.

This undermines quality for children and the viability of services.

Educators NEED change and a FAIR wage! #Budget2025

@AishlingSilke My sisters child's service has done this. Putting a gun to parents heads as supply is difficult to find and parents need to work. How can they justify such huge increases in prices? 20-40% is beyond inflation.

[Lynnette Monk @Earlyedmammy]

As I sit on my holidays doing paperwork, NCS returns, signing up to funding agreements so that we have jobs to return to, I contemplate is it any wonder so many managers and educators are reaching burnout. Rapid change is needed.

Early Years is crisis!

We are fighting for RESPECT, RECOGNITION and PROFESSIONAL PAY.

@Luighseach @EarlyYearsUnion @SIPTU Not only is the pay low but many are on 38 week contracts. This is not sustainable in this day and age!

@JoannaDonnellyL @ih8evrybdy @dublinbusnews Lorry was on fire from 3.20 so this was during this event when all traffic was diverted through Swords and the surrounds.

@Bluefoxlink @DubFireBrigade @LiveDrive @TIITraffic @DCCTraffic Or head for Naul Village and then back on to m1

@IrishTimes Unlike in primary school the books are for a 3 year cycle therefore the children need access to them for 3 years not one! Hence costs won't reduce until year 4! Or will parents have to purchase another set of books to ensure children have access to study materials?

[Lynnette Monk @Earlyedmammy]

@sharononeill3 @BigStartIreland @rodericogorman @ChildRightsIRL @Tanya_Ward @dcu_ecrc It is standard practice for Educational Conferences to invite the relevant Minister on the day. Minister O Gormans attendance shows his willingness to listen to the issues facing Educators and Managers. All SIPTU members are welcome to attend.

[SIPTU - The Early Years Union @EarlyYearsUnion]

Early Years Professionals are setting out the future of our profession, our sector and our Union!

Speakers include:

✅ @rodericogorman
✅ @ChildRightsIRL, @Tanya_Ward
