- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion (31 Jul 2019)
Anne Rabbitte: I want to ask a question if Deputy Mitchell does not mind. When we have an outbreak of chicken pox or measles in a creche we notify the parents. We are obliged to put a notice on the front door that there is an outbreak of X or Y.

Anne Rabbitte: What about the fire regulations?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Issues Regarding Childcare Facilities: Discussion (31 Jul 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: No, but the evidence is there. The regulation has been breached because the ratio has not been adhered to. I am coming back to the regulation and it has been breached in such a case. The regulation has not been adhered to or the fire regulations have not been complied with. That can be done. It is a simple solution on an interim basis until we have the legislation.

Anne Rabbitte: Hold on a moment. There have been inspections which led to breaches being found.

Anne Rabbitte: Tusla carried out second inspections to allow those crèches to reach the bar, but they failed to do so. Tusla is working with them, but they are still on the critical list because they have not reached the bar twice. How many crèches and full-day childcare facilities are on the critical list? I do not want "Prime Time" to tell me, I want Tusla to do so.
