Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. The Minister will appreciate the Labour Party has frequently asked her and the previous Minister about this in parliamentary questions and parents have been told to go to their local childcare committees for historic fees, go to the national childcare website or contact the NCS directly for the fees. Parents have already gone down those three routes to access fees.

A response to a parliamentary question from my party leader, Ivana Bacik, on 29 September 2024 stated the Department would endeavour to have these fees publicly available as soon as possible. A timeframe on the short term and long term would be gratefully appreciated. There is no opportunity for somebody who had a child in preschool in 2021 to understand whether that childcare facility is now charging more or charging less.

There is nothing to base it on.
