Mr. GearĂ³id Breathnach:
That is not what happens. The family do not make a contribution in this case because, based on their economic circumstances, Pobal makes a subvention to the crèche for the child attending it. The family, therefore, do not have to pay the fees. Pobal may pay them on their behalf. The problem arises if a child is registered and does not attend.
