A major feature of the election was the pledge to reduce childcare fees to €200 per child per month. Children’s Minister Norma Foley announced capping fees from September for parents paying the highest rates in the country to be brought closer to the average care fee of €197 when subsidies are included. Taoiseach Micheál Martin asserted that all commitments in the Programme for Government will be fulfilled, focusing also on the need for affordability and increasing childcare places to meet population growth and related pressures on services.
