Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality her plans to address the situation that arises due to a lack of availability of childcare places whereby parents must join waiting lists during early pregnancy, without any guarantee of a place, and that such early application requirements create a situation whereby parents are more likely to have to notify providers of a pregnancy loss, thus causing distress.
