Information and a new website would be very welcome as parents feel a little bit in limbo, as do the crèche providers. Given the new subsidy, does the Minister have any fears about the inflation of fees in crèches? There is a huge concern over this.

They are looking after our most precious and are the first link to education but we are paying them, on average, €10.47 per hour. Is the Minister concerned about increases in crèche charges?
