The Manager of one of Clare’s largest creches is warning that its future is in doubt because of a cut in government supports.
The Clare Family Resource Centre, a community creche and registered charity based in Ennis, employs some staff via the Community Employment Scheme, which is designed to help people who are long-term unemployed to get back to work
