As Deputy Ó Laoghaire said, FIS is meant to be a labour activation measure. If it is neutral from the parent's perspective, it might make more sense for them not to work the hours. Will the Minister have another look at that? We should not take the incentive of FIS away completely. How will providers deal with the issue in September? How will they know how much to charge parents if the non-universal bit has not been clarified?
