With reference to the information provided to the Deputy last month in regard to the number of enquiries received by City and County Childcare Committees from childminders in relation to voluntary notification since the introduction of the tax exemption in respect of income from childminding, I am advised that the information provided at that time and reproduced below has not yet been updated. I have asked officials in the Office of the Minister for Children to arrange for an early update of the information and for this to be forwarded to the Deputy at an early date.
