McCallister concerned over unregistered childminders

JOHN McCallister MLA has spoken of ongoing concerns regarding the lack of registered childminders in the Rathfriland and surrounding areas.

He said, "I have been contacted again by an anxious mother who has secured employment, but to her disappointment, has discovered there are no registered childminders available in her locality at present.

"The few locals that are registered are full up and this particular lady will have to rely on family until she can secure something more permanent. However, this story is not unfamiliar as there has been a shortage of registered childminders for a long time."
