The Temporary Wage Subsidy Childcare Scheme (TWSCS) was introduced as a temporary and time-limited emergency measure to support the childcare sector during the closure period required by the COVID-19 crisis.
I recently announced a €75million funding package to facilitate the reopening of childcare facilities from 29 June. In light of the announcement of these financial support measures the Temporary Wage Subsidy Childcare Scheme will close on 28 June 2020. Childcare services which reopen on 29 June will be able to continue to claim the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme for their staff.
