In the second part of a two-part series, Accountancy Ireland talks to Zara Duffy, Aoife Hamilton and Paula O’Neill about how parents are feeling let down by the current childcare system in Northern Ireland and how survey findings show that it has become increasingly difficult to juggle childcare responsibilities and a career, as the cost of appropriate childcare has gradually become unaffordable.
