Many of the issues I was going to cover have already been dealt with. I would like to ask about Tusla inspections. If I operate a crèche, how often could I expect an inspection from Tusla? Would it be once a year or every couple of years? What is the frequency of inspections? According to the figures provided earlier, there are 4,435 early years services. Tusla only carried out 2,500 inspection last year, which means that 1,800 services have not been inspected. Can our guests tease that out?
