Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
691. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he will provide in tabular form, by county, the funding his Department has provided for city or county child care committees every year since 2011. [30660/15]
View answerThe City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs) were established in 2001 to advance the provision of childcare facilities in their local areas.
The funding provided by this Department to each CCC for the years 2011 to 2015 is shown in the following table. It should be noted that in 2012, my Department reviewed the funding provided to each City and County Childcare Committee relative to the numbers of children and services within the area and the level of deprivation. Following that exercise, it was found that some committees were relatively over funded and others relatively underfunded. A new model for allocations to CCCs was developed and is now being implemented. For the period 2013 and 2014, therefore, the allocations were adjusted so that relatively overfunded CCCs had a greater reduction in funding than those that are relatively underfunded.
