Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs

9:00 am

Ms Bernie McNally:

Yes. It will also be considered as part of the funding model that we mentioned. Currently, we do not step into the market and regulate or cap the number of places. We are examining international experience. We are conscious of the issue, but Ireland has not moved significantly in that direction yet. We could move more in that direction, especially with the introduction of the national childcare scheme and if the Government continued to invest in childcare. That is a matter to which we will continue giving attention.
