The Ombudsman for Children's Office is devastated to hear about the passing of Saoirse Ruane.
We are thinking about her friends and family during this time.

Positive meeting with @pobal today as part of stakeholder engagement. Great to talk about grassroots needs & issues we face especially when supporting disadvantaged. Great to see pobal meeting services, hearing our perspective and getting a better idea of what issue we face. – at Kilkenny, Ireland

Got a text for my son's school today saying that meal scheme starts after Easter. I'm delighted as a parent yet in ECEC we're realistically years off unless Gov takes urgent steps to address food poverty in children's formative years
Child poverty doesn't start in junior infants
‘Food poverty’ receives a ‘B’ in #ReportCard2024, an improvement on the ‘C+’ grade received in Report Card 2022.

Very positive meeting with the Taoiseachs Child Poverty & Wellbeing office discussing the absence of government support to tackle disadvantage/ poverty in ECEC and SAC. Child poverty doesn't start in junior infants & we need early intervention to start in ECEC. #nochildleftbehind – at Dublin City, Ireland

Calling all lecturers of #earlychildhoodeducation - just as primary #teachers join the @TeachingCouncil #students of #ECEC should join PEMI to highlight #professional #qualification & status.

Great hearing @seansherlocktd quote article 2 of the UNCRC at today's Oireachtas committee meeting and all children should have a right to ECEC. So often government doesn't prioritise children's rights/ needs in ECEC, instead opting for work activation or political gain instead. – at Kilkenny, Ireland

Since @rodericogorman
announced €1 billion is being spent on ECEC SAC, it's alarming to see the growth of corporate, chain companies enter & expand in our profession. This type of profiteering is built on excessive fees, poor wages & exchequer funding

On #WorldTeachersDay, it might be a good time to think about the 'big' findings from two recent @NCCAie reports.
What do they say in a nutshell?
Teaching is very complex.
@paula_lehane and I did our very best, but even 500+ pages just scratch the surface. #edchatie

17 point salary scale proposed for school secretaries (rightly so) tinyurl.com/7vc94mbm Yet early childhood educators, await news of a proposed €13.65/hour. No commitment to a national salary scale, and no annual increment. #valuetheECECprofession
