The Irish Government needs to recognise that there is an immediate need for funding to be made available to all preschool children who have additional needs. Those of us working with preschool children in today's Ireland want to do our best for the children in our daily care. It is time to stop waiting for someone else to make the first move.

Please sign this petition, which is calling on the Government to support those children with additional needs (aged up to five years attending creche or preschool in Ireland) by providing extra funds through the Department of Education.
