Childcare Support Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (28 Mar 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: In the amendment I sought reassurance for child care providers. While I accept what the Minister said, that it was part of the policy review, they seek reassurance that they have guaranteed income for 52 weeks.

Childcare Support Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (28 Mar 2018)

It could be a guardian, whether the child is in care or otherwise. A guardian could...

Childcare Support Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (28 Mar 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I also welcome the amendment. While amendment No. 12 was ruled out of order, I agree with what I see in amendment No. 13. There was a great deal of debate on this on Committee Stage. Deputy Mitchell used the serious word "stability" which is what I was looking for when we sat on Committee Stage. I wanted to ensure that children could complete their term time. I spoke about Halloween,...
