I'm very happy to be here.

It was like I was talking to Stephen McCullough.

It was like I was talking to the audience team.

Yeah, good morning Clare and thanks for having me on to talk about such a crucial issue and a vital issue for families right across Dublin Central and across the country.

But this is coming up on every second door as much as the housing crisis coming up and wrapped into the cost of living.

Look, it's something that I have a lot of lived experience on, Clare.

I'm one of those parents that's paying the second mortgage.

I'm one of those parents that was lucky to even get into that position to get a childcare place for my young daughter.

And look, it's really putting a strain on my family and families right across the constituency.

And Clare, there's that piece as well, like the guilt of a parent, you know, so how many parents are not reaching out to us about this?

I took to social media on this only recently and the amount of DMs I'm getting from people right across the country that are really struggling and haven't spoke out on this.

And even one parent said to me, sure, Daniel, don't you just struggle to get by?

Because it's only for a few years, but we shouldn't be doing that, Clare.

Like we simply shouldn't be doing that.
