Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 March 2025
1339. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth her views on the issues raised in correspondence (details supplied) regarding core funding financial reporting; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11198/25]
View answerI am aware that officials from my Department have responded to the complaint received through the financial reporting portal.
On 20 June 2024 and again on 2 July 2024, Department officials issued documents to each service provider informing them that the deadline for year 2 submissions would be end of February 2025.
This decision to extend the deadline was made late on the 28 February in response to requests my Department received from service providers in weeks leading up to the 28 February deadline.
Core Funding Partner Services now have until 18 April 2025 to submit their Income and Expenditure Template for programme year 2.
Furthermore, there is some additional information available on the Hive (earlyyearshive.ncs.gov.ie/downloads/download-corefunding/.), under the Core Funding Reporting Year 2 (2023/2024) tab, including the updated list of nominal codes, an FAQ and a guidance note for Core Funding Financial Reporting Requirements.
The online submission portal, www.CFCRRS.ie, is now open. A sample Income and Expenditure template is available to download from the Hive.
