After-School Support Services
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-20
============================================================

Kathleen Funchion (SF), Carlow-Kilkenny

This question is on after-school services. What is the situation with regard to disadvantaged children who are locked out of after-school programmes that are under the national childcare scheme? Why are children who are new to after-school services ineligible for the national childcare scheme due to the employment status of their parents?
