Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Deputy Niall Collins)

Officials in my Department have contacted the Limerick Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB) in relation to this query.  LCETB has confirmed that there are currently no crèche services available through any of their Further Education and Training (FET) colleges, but that all learners are entitled to apply for Affordable Childcare Scheme funded by the National Childcare Scheme.
