Could this be an anti-competitive measure? I recall the Competition Authority coming out previously about some measure that was designed to stop price increases, on the bases that the measures were also preventing cost decreases.In his Budget 2022 speech, Minister for Public Expenditure said €716 million would be invested in the sector next year by the State, with an additional €78 million in core funding going to providers.
He said this additional funding for providers would be tied to a commitment that there will be no further increases in the fees facing parents.
