I raise the issue of childminding as well because we are looking at an inevitable crisis in childminding if the Minister, Deputy Foley, does not act quickly. The Minister needs to engage with the childminding sector to discuss and rapidly adjust a new Government system for childminding. Up to 80% of childminders are going to cease operation within 12 months if action is not taken immediately because the new system will increase the paperwork, and the subsidies and grants are insufficient. There is no longer support for the access and inclusion model, AIM. There is also a possibility of rates being imposed on childminders' homes. We have a shortage of childcare provision as it is. If we lose 80% of our childminders, we will be in dire straits. It will force parents out of work. I was contacted by a mother who was due to go back to work in mid-June. When she was four months' pregnant, she put down the name of her unborn child for a place in the local crèche but there was still no availability when it came to her time to go back to work. She could not go back to work until the end of September. She managed to find a childminder, who, she says, is excellent, but this childminder is now talking about getting out of this line of work because of the new system. The Minister needs to sit down with Childminding Ireland and other elements that represent the sector and discuss how we can avoid a catastrophe in childcare provision.
