In this particular instance, the service was a single entity but it was also part of a chain. The core person responsible for the two other crèches had registered both of them. We talked about the need for evidence. The evidence was that, on 25 September 2017, there were no cots available for nine children under two years of age at one of the other sites.

The inspection also revealed that the insurance certificate was not suitable as the premises was registered for insurance in respect of an insufficient number of children. On the day of the inspection of another service under the same owner there were 41 children in attendance, but a fire safety document with the company's letterhead provided to the early years inspectors indicated the premises was certified for use as a preschool for up to 30 children. I thank the Chair for his leniency. The link between these incidences of non-compliance is the provider. What powers does Tusla have to inspect other services under the same umbrella?
