Ceist:

375. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when parent statements provided by each partner service for the programme years 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 will be made publicly available; and the reason these documents have not been made publicly available heretofore given that section 7.4 of the Core Funding Partner Service Agreement Year 1 provides that each partner service agrees to allow the Minister or scheme administrator to publish their parent statement.

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I would like to thank the Deputy for raising the question regarding the publishing of the Parent Statements for Partner Service.

I have been informed by the relevant unit within my Department that they have been in contact with Pobal, the Core Funding scheme administrator, to facilitate uploading the Parent Statements to the NCS childcare search.

My Department will endeavour to have these publicly available as soon as possible.
