Mr. Gearóid Breathnach:

No, the manager of the crèche has been changed. There is a new manager of the facility. The crèche's operating costs have been reduced. Two facilities were run that year, but it was later rationalised back to one. Two people were made redundant, while others had their hours reduced. The real problem that year was that it was incurring a loss because the cost of the structure was too high for the number attending it. These corrective actions were taken.

On the main issue raised by the Deputy about the actual attendance versus those registered, if it were to happen now, it would be communicated to Pobal through supplementary returns as they were identified.
