Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) is currently in payment in respect of over 50,000 children.
The Department collates statistical information relating to DCA recipients on a county basis annually and the latest figures, from December 2020 are shown below.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
