Our History
City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs) were established in 2001 They are funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) and act as a local agent for DCYA in the administration of all aspects of national early childhood care and education programmes and the implementation of the government priorities for the delivery of quality childcare services. The CCCs are often the first port of call for both parents and childcare providers when trying to access many of today’s early years care and education initiatives.
The Office of Tipperary Childcare Committee is located on the 2nd floor of the Civic Offices , Friar Street , Cashel .Co Tipperary
