Sinn F\u00e9in in government will deliver affordable childcare.<\/p>\n
This means giving all parents access to childcare at \u20ac10 a day per child.<\/p>\n
So, if you have a child who attends childcare full-time, five days a week, you will go from paying \u20ac800 per month to paying \u20ac200 per month.<\/p>\n
This will be done by increasing the subvention to childcare providers and will also apply to childminders, at a cost to the state of \u20ac345 million.<\/p>\n
\u20ac10 a day childcare is available in other countries where governments recognise the benefit of affordable childcare to working families and to the economy.<\/p>\n
Denmark, Sweden, Finland and parts of Canada cap the price of childcare for parents.<\/p>\n
Sinn F\u00e9in in government will deliver childcare at \u20ac10 a day because we recognise that good quality affordable childcare is essential for families and for the economy.<\/p>\n
Childcare in Ireland has been far too expensive for far too long.<\/p>\n
There is also a growing issue with the availability of childcare places. Thousands of our children are on waiting lists for spaces that are not there.<\/p>\n
For too long the state has taken a hands-off approach when it comes to the provision of childcare.<\/p>\n
In government Sinn F\u00e9in will ramp up capacity in the Childcare sector and extend benefits for parents to care for babies in their first year.<\/p>\n
Childcare is an essential service and it is time that it was given the investment and priority that it needs.<\/p>\n
By delivering childcare at \u20ac10 a day per child, Sinn F\u00e9in will lift the burden off hardworking families, many of whom are under pressure.<\/p>\n
We will make Ireland a better place to raise a family and build a future.<\/p>\n
