Further child-care debate
Cummins promises to seek a ministerial discussion on co-ordinated child-care inspections, while Keane requests that the Children’s Minister also attend.
I assure the Senator will hear my views when any such debate takes place here.
Senator Keane requested a further debate on child care. The House engaged in a very good debate on that early years education yesterday. I note the points she made to the effect that inspections should be co-ordinated and synchronised. I will try to get the Minister for Education and Skills to come before the House to discuss the matter to which the Senator refers.

The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs should come before the House to discuss it.
