Dr. Fergal Lynch:

The figures I quoted earlier referred to 103,000 places in total. That is not just the ECCE scheme and I can dig out the separate ECCE figures. That figure increased to 230,000 places. The access and inclusion model, AIM, coverage is for children with a disability and the proportion of services, for example, that could offer an ECCE place to a child with a disability moved from 44% of services to 81% in three years between 2014 and 2017. That is an indication of the increase in availability of the service specifically for children with a disability.
