Ceisteanna (1920)

Alan Farrell

Ceist:

1920. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of ECCE scheme users by year and local authority area, in tabular form, since its inception; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24723/16]

The numbers that the Deputy has requested can be seen in the table below. It must be noted that there may be some minor discrepancies in the numbers provided due to the differing methods used to collate these figures over the course of the scheme, as it transferred to a new IT system, and due to rounding issues. There is also an issue whereby children can be registered in one county, move, and then be re-registered in another county, all within one academic year. This means the total number of children registered per county, is approximately 450 per year higher than the number of children registered nationally.
