Amharc ar fhreagraAccording to figures supplied to my Department by Pobal 2,513 children were registered on CCSP or CCSU for the 2019/20 programme year, are now registered on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme for the 2020-21 programme year, and were not registered on any scheme from 17/08/2020 to 21/08/2020.
As all registrations start on a Monday and end on Friday it should be noted that for the purposes of the requested data the week Monday 17/08/2020 to Friday 21/08/2020 was used, the dates 16th - 24th August would have included two weeks of registrations.
Pobal administer and manage funding for my Department and has a dedicated e-mail enquiry service for Oireachtas members - oireachtasqueries@pobal.ie.
