874. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to provide a full outline of the expected timescale, funding allocation and criteria that will determine where new State-provided creche buildings will be built or bought (details supplied); if those creches will be owned and operated by the State or leased to community providers; and the way this initiative will address long waiting lists and childcare shortages across the country, particularly in rural areas where access to childcare has historically lagged.
