Before we get to my supplementary question, I was wondering about the top three issues that are affecting child care providers. Could the witnesses answer that because I am sure they have identified them and I would love to hear what they are?

My supplementary question is about the community child care schemes. Was it not a sellotape effect when we accepted CE workers at that time and that an issue arose then with sustainability and the issue still exists? The sum of €1 million will only provide three weeks wages not to mind the once-off payment. Sustainability is an issue and we need to expand the discussion further in that regard.
