@deadlybuzz12 @rodericogorman Agreed

[Early Years Professional Ireland @EYEducatorIrl]

How @rodericogorman has held his seat is beyond me. You have desecrated the childcare sector. Closed down hundreds of services, refused to address issues with our reps and robbed thousands of women of a professional wage through an unjust historical fee freeze #saveourservices

Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman has held onto his seat in Dublin West after a nail-biting count.

@sharononeill3 @rodericogorman @SocDems Here here! And they have/had public services through community settings. They are also dieing because of their policies. It's infuriating

[Early Years Professional Ireland @EYEducatorIrl]

Wow! The sheer disconnect from reality here is mind boggling

@SenatorKeogan Early Years services will be there too, best wishes @FederationEarly many thanks for another opportunity to voice our concerns #FECP #UNITEDWESTANDFECP #SAVEOURSERVICES

[sharononeill @sharononeill3]

@fiannafailparty What about EARLY Childhood Education you are closing our services. We were forced to cut 22 places & 4 staff this wk despite huge waiting list. But we have to peel costs back to the bare bones wind down because we are being pushed out!! Too many services have closed zero response

[sharononeill @sharononeill3]

With focus again in budget on "cheap childcare" ignoring viability for ECEC services the dept have put the final nail in many sm services the writing is clearly on the wall now. ECEC is not valued & being gambled for votes SHAMEFUL €9 mill for phone cases zero to save preschools

[sharononeill @sharononeill3]

No rise in ecce fees again core funding is meaningless to sm ECEC services,very dark day for Early years education, services can't sustain this eternal fee freeze. Time for providers to rethink & look after ourselves. Personally will reduce places and workload enough now #FECP

[Early Years Professional Ireland @EYEducatorIrl]

If only @rodericogorman and @dcediy would heed this sign. The way they treat the early years sector is appalling

[Treasa Keegan ⚡ @TreasaKeegan]

On a net basis, there are 67 fewer Early Years services open now than at the Core Funding peak in Nov 2022. It's simply not working.

@NWCI @SimonHarrisTD Proud female entrepreneurs, i.e. owners with undignified take-home pay, don't matter? The backs our economy was built on for decades. Think you need a more nuanced view here. The 98% female-owned sector is being obliterated. Name one sector the govt. is running competently.

Childcare has been underfunded for decades and we're the badies. Where is the accountability of public money here? The COA has broken us with 10% of sligo services closed this year alone, and hundreds of thousands are spent on a bike shed

[Early Years Professional Ireland @EYEducatorIrl]

@BurtchaellJohn @IrishTimes And how do you think the govt can afford to buy us out? When the need for childcare arose in society how did the govt help? They sat back and watched as we filled that need. We provide quality service with minimal funding and now you dare insult us by demanding we hand it over

[your views explained @theorangecrunch]

@IrishTimes No other business has had its fee frozen from 2016 NCS prices.
No other business is expected to run a government scheme on 2012 allocations (ECCE).
No other business is expected to cover government administration virtually free of charge.

[Early Years Professional Ireland @EYEducatorIrl]

Here here 👏 it's about time @rodericogorman stopped ignoring his responsibilities and actually talked to services

[Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers @MurphyDunne]

Distraught providers left with no money to pay their staff or bills. How is this happening in this day and age. @FederationEarly

[Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers @MurphyDunne]

All services are saying the same thing. @dcediy @rodericogorman you need to listen. Core Funding is not working for us and we will ow all have to pass the cost onto parents and pull out of your scheme @FederationEarly https://t.co/hAFt0VbbqD
