Derek Dunne, President, TUI said:  The fact that this budget has been announced in May is an improvement on previous years and at least those who will benefit will not have as anxious a summer as they did last year, not knowing whether they were to receive adequate childcare funding. However, the figure makes no allowance for inflation or the rising cost of living expenses. It is also apparent that longer term strategic planning for childcare support is essential. For example, many students lost out last year because of the uncertainty of the situation, with many deciding to drop out of their courses due to the cutbacks. We are calling on the Department to consider adjusting the amount announced for inflation to give those benefiting the best chance possible in the next academic year and also to embrace strategic planning in with regards to this support.Ф The funds are provided by the Department of Education and Science to VECs to encourage and support parents who intend taking part in Youthreach, Senior Traveller Training Centre programmes for early school leavers and the Vocational Training Opportunity Scheme for unemployed people."
