Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed)
Ms Marian Quinn:
I thank the Deputy for the question. We were not consulted in relation to the emergency childcare scheme for healthcare workers. Subsequently, for further phases, we have been consulted but at that stage we were not involved in it. The advisory group was not set up and, while we had contacted the Department to put forward suggestions on how any phased opening should happen, we had not been invited to do so at that time.
