Thomas Byrne (Meath East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have constituents in touch about insurance as well. On childcare, is the Taoiseach aware that houses are being developed across my constituency and there is no childcare available for parents, particularly in south County Meath? This is replicated in different parts of the country. Buggies are now being brought, with babies, on commuter trains into Dublin where there is not enough room for commuters. The Government has singularly failed to provide childcare. What is its response to this? Is it going to do something and make an emergency intervention apart from the crèches that will close because of the insurance issue?
