Early Years Education and Childcare consultation

Affordable, accessible – early years education that works for your family

Fine Gael wants to make Ireland the best country in Europe to be a child.

We introduced two free pre-school years funded by the state and we have significantly reduced childcare costs.

But we want to be more ambitious. We know the pressures of juggling work and responsibilities and we want to give parents options to choose what is right for them.

We know that investing heavily in high quality early years education and childcare reaps great rewards in later life.

Fine Gael wants to move to an affordable, high quality, public early years learning and childcare model and we want your help in shaping this.

Please take the time to give us your views in the consultation below. Thank you.
