The Children’s Minister has unveiled a new funding model aimed at bringing “transformative change” to the childcare sector.
Roderic O’Gorman said that Together for Better will provide a “sound framework” to improve the quality and affordability of childcare, and pay and conditions for workers.
It will incorporate the Government’s 221 million euro core funding scheme, as well as the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme and the National Childcare Scheme (NCS).
