PODCAST: Childcare provider and parent give their reaction to re-opening of ECCE scheme today

Today saw the re-opening of childcare for around 100,000 toddlers under the Early Childhood Care and Education scheme.

There was excitement tinged with a little trepidation for both parents and staff at the school gates this morning.

Paula Donohoe from Clever Clogs in Cavan admitted she was a little concerned about the speed of the re-opening but was still happy to see the children who were so excited to be back when she spoke on the Joe Finnegan show today.

Tina Dolan , a frontline worker and parent who uses the service joined Paula on the show to give her view on being able to send children back into school.
