flag Seventeen Irish childcare services face closure for missing a renewal deadline due to incomplete paperwork or vetting.

flag Seventeen childcare services in Ireland face closure on Monday after missing the December 31, 2025, deadline to renew their registration with Tusla, the national childcare agency. flag Delays are primarily due to incomplete Garda vetting or missing documentation, as all early years providers must renew every three years. flag Over 3,200 services successfully renewed, but the remaining 17 are still submitting applications. flag Tusla is working weekends and has opened a helpline to assist providers, aiming to minimize disruption. flag The Federation of Early Childhood Providers is urging a grace period and an emergency meeting to prevent future issues, warning of impacts on families and staff.
