Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration if his attention has been drawn to cases such as a case (details supplied) in which parents were unable to apply for the NCS subsidy before the end of August 2020 deadline due to the change in procedure requiring parents rather than childcare service application and an inability to access a CHICK number without a public services card; the number of children affected; if he will consider extending the deadline to accommodate late applicants in view of the reduced availability of MyGovID card services due to the global pandemic and the difficulties in accessing clear information on how to access a CHICK number.
