Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 September 2023
481. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the reason that full-time AIM supports were initially granted to a child (details supplied) and subsequently withdrawn; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41252/23]
View answerIf any family is experiencing challenges in accessing a place or supports for their child in an early learning and care service, the family's best route is to contact their local city or county childcare committee (CCC) funded by my Department. CCCs are available to support parents and children at a local level. Contact information for the relevant CCC is available atwww.myccc.ie.
Pobal on behalf of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth administers AIM. Officials in my Department reached out to Pobal, who advised that shared Level 7 support was granted for the child in this case on 14 September and that the supports have not been withdrawn at any stage.
