There is no specific budget for the Community Childcare Subvention Plus Saver Programme (CSSP). CCSP is a legacy scheme, which is being replaced by the National Childcare Scheme (NCS). It is therefore incorporated under that budget.

The NCS budget for the years 2021 and 2022 is as follows:

Year	Budget
2021 € million	205.5
2022 € million	200.3

The spend on the CCSP in programme years 2020/21 and 2021/22 is as follows:

Year	€
Programme Year 2020/21	€ 52,714,357
Programme Year 2021/22	€ 21,485,887
