Child registrations for the 2016/2017 Community Childcare Subvention programme were submitted by childcare service providers referenced by Deputy during the period of 19th September to 14th October 2016.

As with all providers, once these registrations are submitted, the PPSNs therein are subject to a verification process to check for DSP allowances and HSE Medical/GP visit cards held during that period. This verification process can take a number of weeks.

Information was published by Pobal on 25th November that CCS funding, based on these verifications and the identification of specific entitlements accruing to each child, would issue on 9th December 2016.

In respect of the service in question they submitted 64 child registrations for which the entitlements were confirmed on 25th November. Payments for 3 remaining eligible children will issue next week, with a fourth to be paid shortly thereafter.
