Childcare Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-30
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

I ask the Minister about the core funding model for childcare, how it is applied across all providers and the number of childcare providers that participated in this scheme, but subsequently raised their fees for services, despite the commitment in the scheme not to do so. Has the Department received any complaints about this? If so, how does the Department deal with the service providers concerned? Are there any penalties? I ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
