Together for Early Years virtual day of action

On Feb 5th 2020 approximately 30,000 people took to the streets of Dublin to demand professional terms and conditions for our workforce and funding for our services so that they can deliver sustainable affordable services for parents thus ensuring that all children have access to high quality early years and school age care and education services.
This year we are holding a Virtual Day of Action to remind our Government that we haven't gone away and to push them to increase funding for our sector. Click here for further details
