186. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she has given any consideration to the Association of Childhood Professionals' call for a standard childhood sector contract to be developed, which includes permanent contracts in preschools to improve continuity in the workplace and bring greater job security for staff; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The employment of pre-school staff is a matter for each individual childcare service and therefore I do not have a role in this matter. The question of development of standard childcare sector contracts is a matter for consideration by the sector itself.
