Dr. Fergal Lynch:

We offered additional supports through funding for each of these years. We started the AIM in 2016 and it continued into 2017 and 2018.

There were underspends in 2016 and 2017 because of the nature of the scheme. It was getting up and running and was also dependent on the early childhood care and education, ECCE, scheme, which is the mainstream scheme, but we reached and slightly exceeded that amount by 2018. We are fully up and running at this stage.
