Galway TD calls for Tusla to have powers to immediately close childcare facilities

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD claims Ireland has tougher laws for dirty kitchens than for creches.

That's according to Fianna Fáil's spokesperson for children and Galway East Deputy Anne Rabbitte.

She's calling for Tusla to have more powers to take action against childcare facilities where there's a risk to children - such as the ability to immediately close them.

It's after the RTÉ Investigates documentary into Hyde and Seek Childcare in Dublin.

Tusla will appear before the Oireachtas children's committee on Wednesday - and Deputy Rabbitte says action's needed.
