“Having private, for-profit care goes against all you are trying to achieve for children in care,” says Terry Dignan, a spokesperson for charities that run children’s homes.
Councils are reluctant to use the single-stage process because they take on more risk if something goes wrong, says Sinn Féin TD and housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin.
We know that whether a parent can store their buggy at their child’s creche and go on with their day from there, or whether they have to take it back home first, can have a big impact on their day and travel plans.
We’re hoping you’ll fill in this short survey to help us learn more about this issue in Dublin city. Does your creche have “buggy parking”? If not, how does that affect your day, your commute, your choice of whether to drive or walk them to creche?
If you could find the time to fill in this short survey, it’d be a great help to us. If you have any questions, you can reach us at info@dublininquirer.com.
