Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Sonya Lennon:
Affordable childcare is a major part. In our continuing work with the Icelandic administration, we are going on a fact-finding mission with them in two weeks' time to look at gold standard best practice. The way that they have set up affordable, sustainable childcare is extraordinary. It is the best in the world and that is why we are going to look deeper into it.
It is worth saying we have a series of webinars where we look at the Icelandic model of childcare and we have a fantastic contribution from Tatjana Latinovic, who has been one of the key members of our partnership. I will share the links with committee members afterwards if they would like to have a look at them.
