I move amendment No. 4:

In page 7, line 9, to delete "2018" and substitute "2019".

Section 2 provides for the establishment of the affordable childcare scheme and for the scheme to be funded out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas. As payments under the scheme will not be made in 2018, it is proposed to amend this section to provide that the payments will be made in the first year in which the Oireachtas shall make moneys available to the Minister for the purpose of paying subsidies under the scheme.
