@_PetInsurance_ Why can your claims department not give me a yes or no answer as to whether my dog is covered for a specific procedure under my policy? My own health insurance and car insurance can do that. What's the problem?

@fastwayireland Your courier left my package on a seat at the end of my garage, no effort made to deliver to the front door even though there was a car outside. Found it 2 days later, soaked and contained books. Have him on CCTV, but can't contact your customer services.

Our Taoiseach @rbx_taoiseach has just said on news that our sector has agreed to fee capping. This is miss information. There is NO agreement with providers. We are still waiting on details of the core funding. Very angry 😡 providers this evening. @FederationEarly

@askpermanenttsb After a 55 minute wait the call was answered 🙄😡

@fidelmageraghty Hi Fidelma. I do apologise about the delay. If it is a general enquiry you can Dm us and we can assist you. Thanks, Hannah.

@askpermanenttsb Is anyone answering the phones today? Listening to the annoying messages and music for 50 minutes now, how long does it take?????

@askpermanenttsb Not a chance it's unprecedented number of calls! Have never in my life had to wait that long for an answer from a company. If that's the kind of service now offered, as well as closing cash desks in branches, I'll be looking at where I can move my business & personal accounts to!

@fidelmageraghty Hi Fidelma, Please bear with us, we are experiencing unprecedented call volumes and are doing our very best to answer customer calls as quickly as we can during this time, If it is a general enquiry you can Dm us and we can assist you. Thanks, Albert

I'm delighted to see progress being made on the establishment of the Joint Labour Committee. Those working in early learning and childcare services deserve recognition for the hugely important work they do and the benefits their work brings for children, families and society.

As Minister for Children, I applaud the leadership shown by #EarlyYears services & staff during Covid-19, who continued to deliver quality education to children in the most difficult times. Thanks to all who contributed to this data, which will support our future policy-making.

@MurphyDunne Brilliant, well done and well deserved. No stopping you!

I am happy to announce that I have been elected onto the National Council and Board of ISME. This is such an amazing opportunity for me to represent our sector and all of the Federation members.

@MurphyDunne @rodericogorman We're up close and personal with children in our care too. Why are we not being treated equally? Play fair move us up the list too! @rodericogorman @LeoVaradkar @Independent_ie @IrishTimes @MurphyDunne

enough is enough. Vaccinate your sector. Fight for our rights to be moved up the list. We are sitting ducks and no one fights at the table for us. Minister your sector is very disheartened tonight. Very disappointed. We are essential frontline workers. RESPECT US @rodericogorman

@MurphyDunne @LeoVaradkar Because Irish history shows, and the Taoiseach alluded to it recently, women have always been treated badly by the state. Dr. Neary inquiry, symphysiotomy scandal, mother and baby! You would hope that things would have changed - clearly not!!

As a predominately woman lead sector looking after the nations youngest children. We have rights to be protected by the state from this virus. why are we being ignored. Why are we a last though to our government. Protect your youngest, vaccinate the teachers. @LeoVaradkar

@MurphyDunne @rodericogorman So much for the government's new proposals for allowing people time away from work! They're the worst culprits!!!!

Email from the department at 6.30 on a Friday night. Not good enough. We have asked again and again no emails after 5 on Friday. This is not right. It causes stress for providers. Please respect our weekends as we deserve our weekend break. @rodericogorman

@rodericogorman Pity you can't have such meaningful meetings with the childcare sector!

Thanks to @ISPCCChildline for an extremely valuable meeting this afternoon. It was great to hear such valuable insights on supporting children and young people, particularly in the areas of online safety and mental health and well-being.

Take note minister. The OMEP recognise 'The way Early Childhood Educators are leading the way in a crisis' omepireland.ie/pending/ @rodericogorman @LeoVaradkar @FederationEarly @MurphyDunne

So yet again it is being said in media that there is no childcare for teachers and frontline. Just for the record childcare facilities across the county are open with low occupancy and are very willing to help in any way. @rodericogorman @josephamadigan @LeoVaradkar @rtenews

Early Years Educators are essential frontline workers, but earn just €11.15 p/h on average. Many are on minimum wage. The staff in Tallaght Hospital recognise our value, it's time government do too. @acpire @ncn4children @MaryMoloneyie @ChildRightsIRL @NWCI @rodericogorman

Leadership & commitment shown by ECEC/SAC sector who opened their doors to children of essential workers and vulnerable children. Yet, they are among the lowest paid of all professional groups and the least valued in the education sector. # professional salaries #ecechatie

@MaryMoloneyie @rodericogorman Sadly done in a way by our minister that showed total disrespect for the sector and no consultation .....again!

Well deserved expression of 'gratitude and appreciation from @rodericogorman ' to those providers and professionals in the [ECEC sector] who are doing all they can to provide services for children who need it' during the current restrictions. #ecehatie
