Dr. Fergal Lynch:

That was fully funded. The services I was referring to in the increased levels were specifically the access and inclusion model which was new from 2016. We doubled the ECCE provision by ultimately providing two years of a service. We started with 38 weeks. In the second year, as we were expanding, we went to an average of 61 weeks. In the third year, which was the full year, we had the full two-year provision. They were funded in each case.
