I asked what work is being done by the interdepartmental group and the new second group in terms of special educational needs. The framework for action for the inclusion of children with special educational needs in early education is a 2010 report that was commissioned by the Department of Education and Skills. Has it been considered as a way forward? Will the report feed into the process because I believe it has the right process? Does the Department plan to regulate after-school care?

My last question is on the new registration process. The legislation for same was enacted over 12 months ago but the scheme has still not been rolled out. When will the new registration process be rolled out?
