Mr. Gerard Hughes:

To clarify some points made earlier, the school completion programme and the education and welfare service of Tusla are aimed at first and second level. Child care services and the ECCE pre-school year, for example, were mentioned. The Department also funds those but that is separate to Tusla. Tusla has a role in early years inspections but grants to crèches and the funding for those services are dealt with by the Department and Pobal. Tusla is not involved in that.
