Childcare workers to protest over pay crisis

Thousands of childcare workers and parents are set to hold a protest in Dublin on next Wednesday. The Early Years Alliance has announced it is staging the demonstration over a pay crisis in the sector. Creche owners have been warned their State funding will be docked if they participate. They say normal pre-school and other childcare scheme payments will be pulled for a day if they partially or fully shut down services. Ciara spoke to creche owners and parents on their views.
