Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion

Ms Bernie McNally:

That is the independent statutory regulator. If a service cannot access insurance for whatever reason, it may have to decide to close. In that instance, if everybody has tried very hard and no alternative insurance provision can be found, we would have to consider alternative provision in the area and we would mobilise the supports we have.
