221. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her Department, or a body under its aegis, has considered any proposals for improving pricing transparency for child care fees in centre based child care providers; and her views on whether the opacity of pricing in the sector has a negative impact on the cost of child care for parents.

All providers participating in the various DCYA Programmes are required to clearly publish their fees so that parents can compare providers and, where applicable, can see what their co-payment would be after taking account of any State subsidy.
