In Ireland, parents are paying up to 1600 Euro a month for childcare, that\'s nearly one person\'s monthly wage. Even though we are in the \"Celtic Tiger\" many people are paying nearly their full wage on bills and childcare and just about have enough to survive on themselves.

Working full time just to hand over my entire salary for childcare is madness. We need a break on this tax or we cant keep going like this.

1600 euro is absolutely insane. how are we supposed to keep working when the whole paycheck goes straight to the creche? something has to give.
