999. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the total funding paid out to all ELC and SAC services, including a breakdown of core funding element, in the years 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form. [1761/23]
View answerMy Department operates a range of early learning and school-age childcare funding schemes. These funding schemes, including ECCE, NCS, AIM and Core Funding, are administered by Pobal on behalf of my Department.
I am advised that the 2022 figures are currently being finalised in advance of the completion of the Appropriation Accounts, due on 31 March 2023.
I am further advised that as a result of the different payment patterns for these four funding schemes, Pobal will not be in a position to provide details of January 2023 payments to services until later next month.
