Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Officials in my Department have directed Pobal to contact the relevant Early Learning and Care provider directly to advise them that the ECCE registration will be maintained beyond the allowable period given the exceptional nature of this case.

This will also ensure that AIM funding is uninterrupted and there will be no requirement to reapply for AIM.
