It takes a village - well in 2023 the village is childcare.

And the village is burning down!

Here I talk to Elaine Dunne the chairperson of the Federation of Early Childhood Providers

to talk about the planned strikes & to understand what's really going on.

STRIKE DATES: September 26th, 27th and 28th

The solution needs to be brave - not just expensive - and it needs leadership that accepts the reality of the current situation and joins to dots about how an accessible, flexible, affordable, quality childcare sector is essential if this country - this economy is to have a female workforce.
