Well done Darragh O’Connor SIPTU - The Early Years Union calling on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, Youth to create a public system of #ECEC Matt Cooper An overdue recommendation in 2021 funding strategy "Partnership for Public Good".

Parents entrust their young vulnerable children into care of EarlyChildhood settings Its inexcusable breaching that ethic of care + rightly breach of law Its more than disturbing imagining confusion, fear, trauma experienced by all children in this group irishtimes.com/ireland/social…
