The detailed information sought by the Deputy is not available in my Department in the format requested. It is not possible to break this information down by month or calendar year but it can instead be provided by programme year. ECCE Capitation payments had been administered by my Department prior to September 2016 and by Pobal since September 2016. Officials in my Department are compiling this information from records held prior to September 2016 and I have requested Pobal to provide the information which they possess from September 2016. This information will be supplied to the Deputy in no later than 10 working days. I have asked my officials follow up on this to ensure delivery as a matter of urgency.
