Deputy Gerry Adams touched on it, but I would like to be stronger on the issue. Thousands of private and community child care workers came from all over the country today to protest about their low pay and conditions. I am very conscious that the Taoiseach is a very busy man, but I appreciate and I am fully sure he knew that they were out there. They came at great expense and disturbance to themselves in taking a day off work.
