Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the cutback in grant aid to many community crèches, resulting in an increased child care crisis, where the present high cost of crèche places will be further exacerbated by the increased shortage of places, and the need to put in place a proper child-centred children's policy to restore the freedom for parents to play a greater role in child rearing.
