Summary
Just 8 childminders in Clare are registered with the national child and family agency. According to Children's Minister Norma Foley, there are further 24 operators here currently in pre-registration training with TUSLA. It comes amid concerns expressed by industry representatives that red-tape is preventing people from entering the market. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says the process needs to be made seamless for childminders.
