A chara, - The comments from IBEC and Tesco management that childcare "requires little skill" and a "low level of mental effort" and "no significant physical effort" (The Irish Times, June 30th), demonstrate a total lack of awareness, understanding and respect for children and for the demanding and challenging childcare profession.
Until childcare is given the resources and recognition that it deserves, our children will not get the care, love and attention they need and deserve. - Is mise,
