Pobal have informed my Department that they are not aware of any issues or delays in relation to making payments for the week of 17 August.

The week beginning 17 August was the first week of the 2020-21 CCSP programme year and preliminary payments issued on August 14 to all providers who had signed a funding agreement.

The number of children on CCSP which includes CCSU and CCSRT for the week ending 16 August 2020 was 16,685. Of this cohort 4,719 children have since recorded registrations under ECCE 2020-21.

The table below sets out the transfer rates for CCSP registrations to ECCE, and the numbers of those who did not transfer in the 2020-21 programme year.
