A local councillor in Ratoath has raised concerns over long-awaited crèches at a residential development in Meath, saying that families are being “left without access to vital childcare services”.
Fianna Fáil councillor Caroline O’Reilly is now calling for “immediate action” to provide childcare at The Willows in Dunshaughlin, a new development providing three-and four-bedroom homes in the area over the last couple of years.
“Families who bought homes here were sold a vision of a community with essential services like childcare,” Councillor O’Reilly said, and she joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us about this.
Caroline, who also works with people living with drug addiction, also spoke to us about the current drug addiction epidemic in Ireland, particularly with cocaine and crack cocaine.
