Childcare Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-04
============================================================

Brendan Smith (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

As the Minister is aware, community childcare facilities, along with childcare accommodation provided by private providers, has transformed childcare provision over the past 20 years throughout the entire country. Were it not for community facilities, there would be areas without childcare provision. Grant aid was very significant, with some projects being funded to a level of more than €1.1 million. Another such scheme is needed, based on the representations coming to me in recent times.
