PQ 935
935. Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality whether consideration will be given to reviewing the core funding policy in circumstances where a new provider takes over an already established early education and care service and fee increases arise; whether such cases can be assessed on an individual basis to ensure the ongoing financial viability of the service, while also safeguarding continuity of access for families and ensuring that children do not lose their childcare place as a result of provider change or increased costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
