Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: I refer to CCS scheme and early childhood care and education, ECCE, providers, and everyone in early childhood who is in receipt of these payments.

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: -----who may have overclaimed by €7.

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (13 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: Where a provider has had large amounts of overclaiming, is there any punishment? Say a particular company was particularly efficient at registering and enrolling children but not looking after them, what is the punishment? What is the naughty step for lack of compliance? Will the provider be turfed out of the scheme in the future? Will it be inspected more regularly? What is the slap on...
