Sandra McLellan (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister to consider the proposal in Sinn Féin's budget 2015 document to address immediately the most significant inequity in existing public child care provisions, which is the exclusion of many children with disabilities from the free pre-school year. The sum of €12 million would provide 1,000 children with 15 hours of SNA support per week in order to attend the free pre-school year. This fund would supplement existing ad hocprovisions from the HSE and other disability service providers, which are grossly insufficient. I ask the Minister to consider that.
