Question:

63. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the childcare supports available to a person (details supplied) participating in an ETB course in circumstances in which there are no available places in the only local registered childcare facility and no other registered childcare providers exist; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The Childcare Education and Training Support Programme (CETS) which is administered by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs provides childcare to training course participants on courses provided by the Local Education and Training Boards.

In circumstances where anyone is experiencing difficulty in securing a place they should contact their local City or County Childcare Committee for assistance.

I understand that the Deputy also requested this information from my colleague, Katherine Zappone, Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and that more detailed information in relation to available supports has been provided in her reply.
