Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality whether her Department has undertaken any assessment of the number of families whose childcare provider is not participating in the core funding scheme and who therefore do not benefit from recent reductions in childcare fees; whether the impact of this on affordability and access to childcare has been assessed, including in rapidly growing areas such as North Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
