96. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide a list of all childcare facilities in Donegal that are funded under the national childcare scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38183/24]

The Scheme Administrator advises that there are 153 providers in Donegal that are currently in contract to provide NCS. I have arranged to forward these details to the TD directly.

A list of these services can also be found on the Childcare Service Search page of the NCS website, where full details, including fees and service types, of all providers currently contracted to the NCS can be found. This information and further resources in relation to the NCS can be found at www.ncs.gov.ie .

Parents may wish to contact their local City/County Childcare Committee (CCC) for advice and support in relation to childcare places in a given locality. A list of CCC’s can be found at www.myccc.ie. Alternatively, the NCS Parent Support Centre is also available to assist parents, and can be contacted on 01 906 8530, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
