Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Childcare Services Provision (28 May 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: One area of which the Minister does have control is the availability of capital funding and the ability to ensure that the various providers are able to get access and to build and that services could be built in areas where they do not exist.

The value of it is diminished when people are not able to gain access to the scheme.

Clearly, there is an imbalance and the spaces are not where the...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Childcare Services Provision (28 May 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: The issues were highlighted more than a year ago and there was a follow-up inspection last August. It does not make sense that when issues are identified they are not followed up.

I understand that my colleague,...
