Mums Hub has made a submission to the Department of Social Protection’s public consultation on potential new Working Age and Targeted Child Payments.

The heart of our message is simple:

Care cannot be invisible in social protection.

Mothers are not unwilling to work. Too often, they are unseen by systems that do not recognise part-time, school-hour, flexible or care-compatible jobseekers properly.

We are asking for care to be recognised as infrastructure, for primary caregivers to be supported in their own right, and for social protection to reflect real family life.

This is now Mums Hub’s fourth public consultation submission since September.

Mothers are done being unseen.

Full submission is available on the Research & Evidence page of the Mums Hub website.

Mums Hub is featured in Dublin Inquirer today.

This article captures so much of why Mums Hub exists.

For many mothers, the issue is not a lack of ambition. It is wanting to work, rebuild confidence and regain financial independence without being absent from their children’s everyday lives.

There is a huge talent pool of mothers with skills, experience, energy and ideas, but too often the systems around work, childcare and support do not fit the reality of caring for children.

Mums Hub is here to help change that: through confidence-building, practical resources, family-friendly employment pathways, and a growing community of mums who know they are not alone.

We are also working with employers who understand that family-friendly work is not a favour, it is a practical way to access talent that is too often overlooked.

Thank you to Laoise Neylon at Dublin Inquirer for taking the time to listen, and to Olga Barinova and Jennifer O’Donnell for sharing their experiences so openly.

And a very special thank you to Janet Horner for mentioning Mums Hub to Dublin Inquirer and for believing that what we are building is worthy of being shared.

This is only the beginning.

A very busy week at Mums Hub 🤍

This week included a CV workshop in the Central Library, more encouraging conversations with employers who are genuinely interested in building pathways for mothers, and even our first proper interview with a photo taken, very official altogether 🤣🤗

One emerging trend we are seeing is that some mothers have upskilled while away from paid work, but are still struggling to access opportunities because they do not yet have experience in the new field. This is why we are calling on employers to consider flexible opportunities, supported entry routes, and internships or work placements designed with mothers in mind.

I’ve also been working on Mums Hub’s submission to the public consultation on potential new working-age and targeted child payments, because income, care, motherhood, employment and child poverty are deeply connected.

This morning, I was grateful to attend the National Women's CouncilAGM morning event in Dublin. It was such a powerful space to be in, full of brilliant people, important conversations, solidarity, and some very appropriate rage too.

And this afternoon, I’m heading to Google for a data protection policy workshop with A&L Goodbody, another important step as Mums Hub continues to grow properly and responsibly.

Tired, excited, grateful, and more convinced than ever that this work matters.

Mothers matter.
Care matters.
Opportunity matters.

Could taxi driving be a flexible option for some mums?

Mums Hub and Lady Cab are gathering expressions of interest as we explore a possible pathway to employment.

No commitment, just helping us understand interest, barriers and support needs.

Our June session, Education pathways, takes place on 25th June, 10am–12pm, in Charleville Mall Library. Bookings are now open, with more details to follow.

Mums Hub is live!

We are delighted to finally share our new website and digital hub, a practical space for mothers, families, employers and communities.

Mums Hub brings together local supports, resources, confidence-building opportunities and pathways towards education, training and employment. It was created to make it easier for mothers to find information, feel less alone, and take the next step in a way that works around real family life.

This website and digital hub were made possible through our crowdfunding campaign, with support from and everyone who backed, shared and believed in the project.

Thank you for helping us build something that can keep growing and supporting mothers beyond the campaign itself.

Because no mother should have to figure it all out alone.

Mums Hub supports mothers by building practical bridges to employment through community resources, guidance, employer engagement, and flexible school-hour work pathways.

Just finished a lovely session in Hill Street 💛

We had 15 parents join us for a conversation around employment, next steps, and different pathways back into work or education.

What stood out most was the level of engagement. There were so many thoughtful questions, and every parent’s situation was different, which really highlighted how important it is to have flexible, practical support that meets people where they are.

A clear need also came through today: many parents would like support with their CVs, so we are now looking at arranging a follow-up CV session.

This is exactly why these spaces matter. Sometimes one conversation opens the door to the next step.

Thank you so much to Hill Street for inviting me in, and to every parent who came, asked questions, shared, and took part 💛
