Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Insurance Cover for Crèches: Discussion

Ms Bernie McNally:

Earlier today I said there were only 200 services that had to get a quote. We hope that number will be significantly down by tomorrow evening. It could be that no service will be without a quote and insurance. If there are very few, and there may be very few, we would ask parents to ask providers today and tomorrow whether they have insurance. Therefore, the majority of parents will be getting assurances that the providers have their insurance. If there is a tiny number that do not, parents should be asking that question.
