I will return to Mr. Reid on another important issue, namely childcare for front-line healthcare workers. I will not give the name but I will put to him the content of an email I received from two front-line workers who work in a hospital in Galway. They have two children, who were in a crèche. Its opening times and their working hours, as front-line healthcare workers, have left them with no option but to remove their children from paid childcare and that they now have no choice but to leave their children with their grandparents, which is not ideal. They state: "Why is there still no childcare options for front-line healthcare workers that actually work?" Can Mr. Reid tell them, and others, why we still do not have a childcare solution that they believe works?
