My Department is aware through Pobal who administer the scheme on behalf of my Department, that some providers have been experiencing a delay in processing AIM applications.

The timeline for processing applications is currently under review between officials in my Department and Pobal. As scheme administrators, Pobal and Better Start engage directly with service providers in regard to applications, providing advice and assistance as needed. A key objective of the ongoing review is to learn from provider experiences in order to improve the application process.
