John Lahart: Regarding childcare needs, if there was a change in the circumstances around the opening of schools, in an ideal world, what structure would work for nurses? If Ms Ní Sheaghdha could wave a magic wand regarding childcare for nurses in the event of schools closing, what would that structure be?
