Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I wish to support what Senator Mansergh said about revisiting the CE schemes, with regard to child care in particular. As a result of my meetings with public and private crèche representatives, I know they have a problem due to the lack of guarantees regarding CE schemes. They had been using people on such schemes which were very helpful in getting people started on a career in child care. I support Senator Mansergh's call to re-examine the CE schemes and revert to the previous position before we lost them.
