At the time of writing, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Labour and Sinn Féin have all made the staggering promise to cut childcare fees to a life-changing €200 a month in exchange for our votes in the General Election.
The cut to our childcare costs has the potential to change everything from family planning to housing. How many children you can afford to have and how quickly, where you can afford to live and how much you can afford to save will change overnight.
It's the election promise I'm struggling most to believe, because the risk of disappointment is so great. Politicians beware: Irish mothers' brows are arched and our suspicions are raised.
