The After-school Child Care Scheme commenced its first pilot phase on 29 April, 2013, with up to 500 places made available in seven designated Social Welfare Local / Intreo Offices located in King’s Inn Street in Dublin city centre, Finglas, Cork city, Dominic Street in Limerick city, Dundalk, Mullingar, and Tralee.This initial launch phase of the pilot scheme will allow the Department to review the effectiveness of the scheme criteria. This review will inform the scheme’s subsequent roll-out in July 2013 and for its nationwide roll-out in September, 2013. The Offices that will participate in the second pilot phase in July remain to be determined and will be announced in due course.
