Elaine Dunne Federation Early Childhood Providers

@FederationEarly. All of our members will continue to say no to this chart of accounts. There must be a transitioning period. Training must be given We will not be shopping around for new accountants to do this work. We are happy with the accountants we have @isme_ie

@mullallyelaine Dear god. Pregnant person am I missing something here

There is no such thing as a “pregnant person” only women get pregnant.

@IFAmedia @martinheydonfg @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD @MHealyRae @CathalCroweTD @ryanomeara_td @timmydooley @Bordbia @gormanifa Well done to you all.

Update from IFA President Francie Gorman at Bord Bia HQ where IFA’s protest has been ramped up with the arrival of tractors from Dublin IFA and surrounding counties. The message is clear - LARRY MURRIN MUST STEP DOWN OR THE MINISTER MUST REMOVE HIM! We won’t be moving until this happens. We will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes! #LarryMustGo #ActNowHeydon #BordBia #Protest #farming

@sharononeill3 @AontuIE @FineGael @fiannafailparty @labour @FederationEarly The lack of comments from the department says it all. 1000 services nationally closed and no one is talking about it. WHY Let’s just open up our own services because we can do better. But who is going to run these services and how will they be staffed.

Zero response to 1000 preschool closures! Thousands of children missing out on preschool & nothing done to prevent more closures. What is going on?? EARLY EDUCATION MATTERS! #FAILEDEROFAILEDCOREFUNDING @AontuIE @FineGael @fiannafailparty @labour @FederationEarly @MurphyDunne

We keep telling our minister and the Department that there is a huge issue with the funding. But sure let’s open up state lead services. That will fix everything.

Would be grateful for reposts.

@CraicAddict89 It really is. Totally agree with you

@antoabs @gardainfo Always in our thoughts x

Remembering @gardainfo Garda Ciarán Jones who died on duty on this day 2011..he bravely went to warn motorists about dangerous flooding at Ballysmuttan Bridge,Co Wicklow during extreme weather conditions & sadly was swept into the river. May this brave Garda Rest In Eternal Peace

This is the real figures regarding waiting lists and many services are not full. Please link in with providers and let us tell our story.

@Nick_Delehanty I have asked pobal to do a new survey regarding 40,000 children on creche waiting lists after our findings.

The Govt has published its Q2 Purchase Order for the Dept of Children. Total Spend in 3 months: €417.68M Below are the Top 20 companies: Cape Wrath Hotel (City West): €15,234,363.45 Guestford Ltd: €11,346,350.93 Mosney Holidays Plc: €9,742,023.95 Holiday Inn Dublin Airport (Skyline) €8,929,568.99 The D Hotel (Fairkeep): €7,320,000.02 Bridgestock Care Limited: €6,695,101.32 Trailhead Unlimited Company: €6,469,791.06 Kintrona Ltd: €6,333,280.00 Carnbeg Hotel and Spa: €5,751,750.00 Heronwell Unlimited Company: €5,534,837.00 Brava Capital Ltd: €5,528,748.13 Travelodge Hotels (Smorgs Roi): €5,440,140.39 Didean Dochas Eireann Teoranta: €5,151,933.00 Igo Cafe Limited: €4,903,345.61 Brimwood Unlimited: €4,885,311.00 Allpro Security Services Ireland Ltd: €4,694,769.19 Fazyard Ltd Nos 1 and 2: €4,439,969.70 Jma Ventures Limited: €4,033,545.00 Transboil Ltd: €4,024,780.00 Gateway Integration Unlimited: €3,910,000.00 These top 20 account for €130.37m or 31.2% of all spend. Companies with known links to Banty McEnaney have been paid at least ~€13.5million - putting him just behind City West as biggest beneficiary. Keep in mind: there are 40,000 children on creche waiting places. The majority of these companies operate with 50%+ net profit margins within complex tax-efficient structures to avoid paying as little tax as possible. Of particular note is "Didean Dochas Eireann Teoranta" a company set up to purchase single houses across the midlands to provide own door accommodation. The houses it buys with tax payers money do not belong to the State. Instead they are held by an Isle of Man company. They compete in the market directly against first time buyers and ordinary tax payers. WILD. I will never stop calling this out.

Discussion of creche places rarely includes mention of rapidly falling demand, as births decline. There were 362,000 children under 5 in 2012. Latest figure is 293,000, a 20% decline in just a dozen years
